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." |
