The time officially moves back one hour at 2 a.m. - remember, Spring Forward, Fall Back. State Sen. Bill Posey tried to persuade the rest of the Florida Legislature to pass his bill ending the practice, but the bill failed. Posey wanted Florida to join Hawaii and Arizona as the only states that don't follow Daylight Savings Time.
The Daylight Savings Time switch is later than normal this year. To save energy, President George Bush in 2005 signed a bill that extended Daylight Saving Time about 4 weeks starting this year. Congressional leaders reasoned that having more hours of daylight in the evening would reduce the need to turn on lights.
