The bill, S.B. No. 692, proposes an amendment to Section 312.016 of the Government Code regarding daylight saving time in Texas. It introduces a new subsection (d) that states the state is exempt from the provisions of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 that establish daylight saving time. This exemption applies to both regions of Texas that observe central standard time and those that observe mountain standard time.

The bill is set to take effect on November 3, 2025, aligning with the conclusion of daylight saving time for that year. This legislative change aims to allow Texas to opt out of the biannual clock changes associated with daylight saving time, potentially providing a more consistent timekeeping system for its residents.
