NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The U.S. may not "fall back" in November or "spring forward" next March if a new bill aimed at temporarily extending daylight saving time during the COVID-19 pandemic passes.
Florida Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott on Wednesday introduced legislation that would extend daylight saving time in the U.S. through Nov. 7, 2021.
The proposed change "would provide one year of 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," the Republican politicians said in a release.
Sen. Rubio: "Our government has asked a lot of the American people over the past seven months, and keeping the nation on Daylight Saving Time is just one small step we can take to help ease the burden."#LockTheClock ⏰ pic.twitter.com/D8xnghysYb
