Will Texans have to ‘fall back’ this fall?
Will Texans have to 'fall back' this fall?
A San Antonio state legislator wants to celebrate the centennial of Daylight Saving Time (DST) by getting rid of it.
There may be no need to “fall back” this fall if State Representative Lyle Larson (R) has his way. He’s filed HB 49, the Texas Loves Sunshine Act of 2019, to end DST in Texas.
Traditionally, school kids and adults alike learn to “spring forward” one hour in the spring then “fall back” one hour in the fall. If successful, Larson’s bill would exempt the State of Texas from federal law that established DST in 1918.
