The interesting thing is the person sponsoring the bill is from FL, where I don't think it matters to them which time to keep as much. For more Northern latitudes, both have issues for particular times of the year (like the sun coming up at 4:00 AM in the summer in most of NY State if we stuck to Standard time).
But I also think this person is choosing DST over ST because, in 2019, Florida passed a law to make DST the normal time. Of course, it was symbolic because a state can't choose to be on DST (only to stay on ST): https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/florida-passed-a-bill-making-daylight-saving-time-permanent-so-why-are-we-turning-our-clocks-back https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/florida-passed-a-bi...
- koheripbal 6y agoThat's exactly why Florida is sponsoring it - they don't care which way is chosen, they just don't want to change their clocks anymore.
