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

SB 2029 authorizes a statewide referendum for Texas voters to choose between observing year-round standard time or year-round daylight saving time. The bill requires a vote at the November 2025 general election, where voters would select one of two options on the ballot: "Observing standard time year-round" or "Observing daylight saving time year-round." If approved by voters, the referendum outcome would determine Texas's time zone policy starting January 1, 2026, replacing the current system of switching between standard and daylight saving time. This bill does not change Texas's current time zone rules but establishes a process for voters to decide the state's future time observance.
