If DST becomes our time zone, what does that mean to you during those winter months. TV shows including sporting events start an hour later, your family will have to adjust to when you call or they call, if you still work you will need to start business at least an hour later and work an hour later to match any supplier or customer's hours. The panhandle is going to stay on central time so they will be two hours behind us. What else? This will be fun.

Seem’s like there are more important things to be acting on up there in Tallahassee.

As much as I like it, I highly doubt it will ever happen in FL alone unless it's done nationally (which won't happen either).

[villagetinker]

There are many items that will/may be affected, for example: for about half of the year

Any and all travel outside of the state, airlines, buses, trains, etc.
Cable TV shows, specifically the on screen schedule, and possibly the recording of these
Phone calls out of state (lets see which time is it?), same goes for any type of scheduled video chats, etc.
Cell phones, will they be able to pick the correct time?
GPS, OMG this could be a disaster half of the year.
The constant confusion of having to explain to out of state callers about the time, and for US remembering that we will need to make the conversion when we are calling out of state.
Any and all businesses that have closely tied operations out of state, think electric utilities, etc.

I am sure there are also going to be secondary effects that have not even been thought about, like cloud storage when the clocks on the servers on DST change yours does not, and the WRONG VERSION of your work is saved.

I could go on but you get the idea.
I would really like to see the elimination of daylight savings time, but only if the entire nation does it piecemeal solutions are going to present a lot of problems.

Any and all of your connected devices in your smart home, which time is your cable (internet) going to provide to your devices?
Any calls to a call center for scheduling anything.

This is just me humble opinion. I think this is a very bad idea for JUST Florida to change. My understanding, congress has to approve the change before Florida could actually implement it. Maybe we would get lucky, and the rest of the states would go along.......

Like anything else...Lot's of Oh No !!!! Now What !!!!...OMG !!!!... an adjustment period............ Then.......Peace will return, then Chaos.....Then......well ya get the picture ...Relax..Pop a cold one Chill...ahhhh....

[Shimpy]

They did it wrong. Instead of keeping daylight saving time year around they should keep standard time year around..........I hate DST because that extra hour of daylight is burning up my lawn. LOL

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.

Personally, I agree with a prior comment that will be a significant 'adjustment' period, I just hope Johnny Walker stays on schedule!!!!

[kcrazorbackfan]

IMHO, I hope last night was the last time I ever have to change the clocks.

I don't mind DST; gives me more time to do things in the daylight when I get off work at 6pm.

[New Englander]

I like DST and wish it was a permanent thing.

It can be a nuisance. Look what they have to go through in the UK -- moving Stonehenge forward an hour.

OK, now that was funny.

[rivaridger1]

I agree. That is hilarious. Well done. As to the Feds agreeing to the Florida change, not gonna happen.

[Mleeja]

Not for just Florida! To many complications!

I wouldn't be too sure. Florida is in a kind of favorite son status right now.
