Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed the Daylight Saving Time bill last week, sending the question on states opting out of the time change to Congress.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, is sponsoring the U.S Senate bill that would allow Florida to remain on year-round Daylight Saving Time. The bill would do away with the twice-yearly clock change tradition, leaving the extended daylight hour in the afternoon.

Rubio told The Sun Sentinel he doesn't think there's any "wrong or right answer" to the time change question.

"Basically, it's if you want it to get darker later or earlier. And it depends who you are," Rubio said. "If your (children) are young, you don't want them in the dark at the bus stop. If you like to play outdoors or go fishing in the morning, while it's still dark, you're in favor."

The federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 allows states to opt out of DST and Arizona and Hawaii stay on standard time year-round. States are not allowed to remain in DST, requiring Congressional approval for the change.

Rubio has submitted two bills - one that would keep Florida on DST year-round and another that would make the change nationwide.

Alabama and several other states have considered similar measures.

DST currently runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
