SB 692 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to daylight saving time.

SB 692 amends Texas law to formally claim the state's exemption from the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 regarding daylight saving time (DST). This exemption allows Texas to maintain its current timekeeping practices without following federal rules that require switching clocks for DST. The bill applies to all Texans, covering both the Central Standard Time and Mountain Standard Time zones within the state. It takes effect November 3, 2025, aligning with the end of DST for that year. The legislation does not change Texas' current time zone schedule but asserts the state's legal authority to disregard federal DST requirements.
