Last Spring, around the time we had to Spring Forward with our clocks, the Florida legislature passed, and the governor signed, a bill which would request the U.S. Congress to authorize Daylight Saving Time all year for Florida. That would have eliminated the annoying twice a year clock change Floridians had to endure.
Marco Rubio presented a bill in the U.S. Senate to implement it and put the principle in effect for the entire U.S. in S. 2537: Sunshine Protection Act of 2018.
The bill went nowhere.
The above linked govtrack.us site tells us it has a 3% chance of passing. What a shame.
Oh I know that using government time is optional for each individual. But being out of sync with those around us is too big a price to pay.
