Relating to observing standard time year-round and authorizing a statewide referendum allowing voters to indicate a preference for observing standard time year-round or observing daylight saving time year-round.

SB 64 would create a process for Texas voters to decide whether the state should permanently observe standard time year-round or daylight saving time year-round, but only if federal law changes to allow it. The bill requires a statewide referendum during the first general election after Congress passes relevant legislation, with voters choosing between two options: "Observing standard time year-round" or "Observing daylight saving time year-round." Currently, Texas observes daylight saving time, but this bill would allow voters to change that system through a referendum. The bill itself does not change time zones - it only sets up the voting mechanism if federal law permits it.
