A JOINT RESOLUTION
proposing a constitutional amendment requiring this state to
observe daylight saving time year-round.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Article XVI, Texas Constitution, is amended by
adding Section 74 to read as follows:
Sec. 74. (a) This state, if authorized by federal law,
shall observe daylight saving time year-round throughout the state.
(b) This section applies to all portions of the state,
regardless of time zone.
(c) Subsections (a) and (b) of this section apply only if
the United States Congress enacts legislation that becomes law that
authorizes this state to observe daylight saving time as prescribed
by this section. If such federal legislation becomes law,
Subsections (a) and (b) of this section apply beginning on the first
date, after the date that federal law takes effect, on which this
state would otherwise have switched from observing daylight saving
time to observing standard time.
SECTION 2. This proposed constitutional amendment shall be
submitted to the voters at an election to be held November 2, 2021.
The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or against the
proposition: "The constitutional amendment requiring this state to
observe daylight saving time year-round."
