Apparently
Florida voted to go to Daylight Savings Time all year around, rather than just do way with Daylight Savings Time. In the USA, only Congress with the blessing of the President have the authority to make changes to how any state or territory observes Daylight Savings Time, but states and territories can on their own decide to not observe Daylight Savings Time.
Another strange USA law! So AZ and HI have decided to stay on Standard Time all year around. Texas has a couple of introduced bills that will make Standard Time an all year around time too, but those may or may not even make it to the floor for a vote, so only time will tell if either will get passed and signed. I hope it does become the law here in TX as I hate the time changes twice a year. At any rate, this would be way off topic (
) if not for the point that with every state or territory in the USA the observance of Daylight Savings Time, or the lack thereof, can vary and it might not be well documented. Personally I wish Congress and POTUS would just abolish Daylight Savings Time and make everyone use Standard Time to simplify everything. I can only imagine how confusing it must have been to those who lived in the USA in the mid 1880s before the advent of railroad systems caused the need to develop and implement a Standard Time system based on time zones rather than every town, state, territory, etc. using its own system. But mass and rapid transportation (for its day) required a standardization.
From what I understand, North America is one of the few areas world wide that still observes Daylight Savings Time.
