Permanent Daylight Saving Time? Florida Says Yes, but It’s Not So Simple
9th March 2018
Actually, I think it is. Just pick one and stay there.
The problem? Florida doesn’t have the authority to adopt daylight saving time year-round.
The federal government controls the nation’s time zones, as well as the start and end dates of daylight saving time. States can choose to exempt themselves from daylight saving time — Arizona and Hawaii do — but nothing in federal law allows them to exempt themselves from standard time.
That’s okay. Just ignore the federal law. California is doing it with sanctuary cities.
