FL Senator proposes no more daylight saving time

A Florida state Senator in Sarasota proposes abolishing daylight saving time in the state.

Sen. Greg Steube filed a bill that would exempt Florida from the “spring-ahead, fall-back” policy which is followed by every state except for Arizona and Hawaii.

According to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, Steube said he "heard from a number of people in my district that it has a negative impact, especially on school age children."

Legislation has been filed in the past in Florida to eliminate daylight saving, but it did not advance.  Steube’s bill does not have a House companion and has not yet been heard in any Senate committees.
