<P> California voters passed Proposition 12 in 1949, approving DST in the state . In February 2017, California Assembly member Kansen Chu introduced A.B. 807, proposing to enable the legislature to eliminate DST in the state, or, if federal law allows, to adopt DST for the entire year . Chu then shelved his bill in September 2017 . He then reintroduced A.B. 807 in 2018; it was approved by the California State Legislature, signed by Governor Jerry Brown, and placed on the November 2018 state ballot. If approved by Congress, California would be allowed to remain on DST all year . </P> <P> Daylight saving time is less useful in Florida compared to other states because its southern location leads to less variations in day length between winter and summer . Without DST, Miami, for instance, would experience similar sunrise and sunset times throughout the year to cities including Honolulu or Hong Kong, which have both abandoned DST for decades . There is opposition to DST in Florida . State senator Bill Posey introduced a bill in March 2008 to abolish daylight time in the state and keep Florida on year - round standard time . Because Florida straddles two time zones, the Florida legislature has the option of returning all or part of the state to standard time along time zone boundaries (i.e. placing the portion of the state in the Eastern time zone on standard time, while leaving the portion in the Central time zone on DST, so that the whole state had a common time). There are currently no states that keep daylight saving time year round . </P> <P> On March 6, 2018, the Florida Senate approved the "Sunshine Protection Act" which would put Florida on permanent Daylight Saving Time year round, and Governor Rick Scott signed it March 23 . Congress would need to amend the existing 1966 federal law to allow the change . </P> <P> Hawaii has never observed daylight saving time under the Uniform Time Act, having opted out of the Act's provisions in 1967 . </P>
