A bill that would do away with daylight savings time (DST) in Tennessee is advancing in the House.
Sponsored by Representative Chris Todd (R-Madison County-District 73), House Bill 1300 as amended would end the twice yearly changing of clocks that Tennesseans currently practice as they go from standard time to DST and back again.
The bill passed in the House Public Service Subcommittee on Tuesday in a unanimous vote and now heads to the House State and Local Government Committee where it is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, March 18th, 2026.
Should the legislation succeed, those in the Volunteer State would no longer “spring forward” into DST, but remain on standard time all year long starting next year.
