FLORIDA - SENATOR RICK SCOTT INTRODUCES A BILL

 

Legislation Alert: U.S. Sen. Rick Scott Introduces Bill to Extend Daylight Saving Time During Pandemic

Last week, Senator Rick Scott joined Senator Marco Rubio to introduce legislation that would keep the United States on Daylight Saving Time through November 7, 2021. The bill would help provide stability for families who are already dealing with enough change with virtual learning, work from home, and other disruptions the COVID-19 pandemic has placed into our daily lives. Senator Rick Scott said, “After months of staying inside amid the coronavirus pandemic, families across the nation could use a little more sunshine and time to enjoy all that Florida has to offer. I signed legislation as Governor to continue Daylight Saving Time year-round for Floridians, and I’m glad to join Senator Rubio to lead this effort in Congress." Read more about this bill HERE.
