That is interesting SSG(P) (Join to see) that a "bill to let Florida remain on Daylight Saving Time year round is headed to Gov. Rick Scott’s desk after the state Senate approved it 33-2 on Tuesday.
If Scott signs the “Sunshine Protection Act,” Congress would need to amend existing federal law to allow the change.
While the rest of the Eastern United States would set their clocks back in the fall, Florida wouldn’t, leaving it with more sunshine in the evening during the winter. Northwest Florida is currently in the Central time zone."
It would be interesting- some parents are opposed because it would affect getting their young children to bed.
Others are concerned because
1. the U.S. Congress would need to change applicable Federal laws fro Florida.
2. Florida would be out of synch with other eastern time zone states for 6 months out of the year.
