HB 49 - Kill Daylight Savings Time

Filed as HB 49.

Uses the current Federal Exemption on the books to skip out of daylight savings time. Goes to standard time.

Personally, if you want daylight savings time in your life, arrange with your boss to go to work earlier... But Either full time DST or full time standard is better than changing twice a year.

I hope it passes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 312.016, Government Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
(d) The state, acting under the exemption provisions of
Section 3(a), Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. Section 260a(a)),
is exempt from the provisions of that law that establish daylight
saving time. The exemption provided by this subsection applies to
both the portion of the state using central standard time as the
official standard time and the portion of the state using mountain
standard time as the official standard time.
