Texas Senate Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent, Pending Federal Action
- The Texas Senate passed House Bill 1393 this past Thursday, which would establish permanent daylight saving time throughout the state, subject to the governor's signature.
- Lawmakers introduced the bill to end changing clocks twice a year, but its effect depends on a federal law amendment that has stalled in Congress.
- The bill applies to all of Texas, including Central and Mountain Time zones, and designates the new standard as "Texas Time."
- Senator Paul Bettencourt, who introduced the bill, described it as a measure contingent on upcoming federal decisions, highlighting the ongoing delays at the national level.
- If Governor Abbott approves the bill and Congress permits year-round daylight saving time, Texas would become one of 18 states that have passed laws to eliminate the biannual clock changes once federal regulations allow it.
