Bill > SJR7

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Texas Legislature to hold a statewide referendum where voters can express their preference for either observing standard time (the regular time used during winter months) or daylight saving time (the time used during summer months) year-round. If the referendum is held, the legislature would be authorized to enact a law implementing the time option that receives majority support from voters. The proposed amendment specifically validates a referendum held on the same day as the election for this constitutional amendment. The constitutional amendment will be submitted to Texas voters at an election on November 4, 2025, with a ballot that clearly explains the proposed referendum's purpose. The ballot language will ask voters whether they support authorizing the state to conduct a statewide referendum allowing voters to choose between standard time and daylight saving time, with the legislature able to implement the preferred option.
