Florida senators want to put time change on hold
September 16, 2020 - Sen. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio have introduced legislation that would keep the United States on Daylight Saving Time through November 7, 2021. The bill would help provide stability for families who are already dealing with virtual learning, work from home, and other disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic, a news release said. Daylight savings time is scheduled to end this year at 2 a.m. Nov. 1, and because the number of legislative days prior to then are limited, Rubio is taking steps to allow the bill to bypass the Senate Committee on Commerce and be placed directly on the Senate calendar.
