Yahoo News Florida is planning to pass a 'Sunshine Protection Act' to get rid of 'Daylight Saving Time'
Florida is planning to ditch the idea of moving clocks backwards and forward and keep Daylight Saving Time going all year.
The ‘Sunshine Protection Act’ will mean no more ‘spring forward’ or ‘fall back’, and will keep clocks the same all year round.
If approved, Florida will join Hawaii and Arizona, which are exempt from the Uniform Time Act of 1966 which established the system of Daylight Saving Time throughout the US.
According to CNN, it took the state Senate less than a minute to pass the act, which will now go to Governor Rick Scott for approval.
It’s not the first time efforts have been made to change Daylight Saving Time, with arguments including concerns that it causes accidents because motorists are sleep-deprived, or the argument that it doesn’t actually reduce annual energy use.
