Right ... while the chances are virtually zero it will happen since the Feds, not the States control time zones they did it in a slightly different way in Arizona and Hawaii and have survived (they stayed on STANDARD TIME not DST).

From linked article:
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.
