DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Florida residents will still need to set their clocks back one hour this weekend, even though Gov. Rick Scott signed a billed to keep daylight saving time year round. The Legislature passed the bill earlier this year, but it has yet to receive Congressional approval. If Congress approves, Northwest Florida would be one hour ahead of neighboring Alabama during part of the year, including winter. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio introduced legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time  permanent across the country and also introduced the Sunshine State Act, which would give Florida approval to establish permanent Daylight Saving Time within its boundaries.
