Florida is a step closer to living up to its nickname as "The Sunshine State." A bill to let Florida remain on Daylight Saving Time year round is headed to Gov. Rick Scott's desk after the state Senate approved it 33-2 on Tuesday. If Scott signs the "Sunshine Protection Act," Congress would need to amend existing federal law to allow the change.Here are a few ways it could impact your life: 1. If Florida has permanent daylight saving time, it would be an hour ahead of the rest of the East Coast for much of the year, joining Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the easternmost parts of Canada. 2. There would be no more springing ahead and falling back. That means that when the rest of the eastern states switch to daylight saving time in the spring, their clocks would be in sync with Florida from March to November. 3. There would be sunny evenings, as those dark winter evenings would become a thing of the past. The sunset in Orlando on Dec. 22 would happen at about 6:34 p.m., an hour later than last year’s 5:34 p.m. sunset. 4. Mornings would be darker. The sunrise in Orlando on Dec. 22, 2017 occurred at 7:14 a.m. That would be pushed an hour to 8:14 a.m. if Florida changed time zones. 5. TV viewing times would be different. Our live TV viewing would be thrown off. Everything from those long Hollywood awards shows to late-night ball games from the West Coast would end even later than they do now.
