An Alabama lawmaker wants to stop the practice of springing forward and falling back.

Sen. Rusty Glover, R-Semmes, has introduced a measure that would put Alabama on Daylight Saving Time year-round. The bill is co-sponsored by 27 Republican and Democrat Senators.

"Like most Alabamians, I would like to see our state keep Daylight Savings Time year round instead of changing our clocks back in the fall. Research has shown the immense benefits this would bring to our state and her citizens," Glover said.

Currently, clocks are set ahead one hour on the second Sunday in March and back again the first Sunday in November. The practice dates to World War I, originally starting as a way to conserve energy.

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 permanently and any measure passed in Alabama or any other state would require Congressional approval before it could be enacted.

Glover's resolution asks President Donald Trump and Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao to allow Alabama to make the change, and urges them to enact DST across the country.

It's not the first time Glover has introduced time change legislation, though previous efforts have been unsuccessful.

Last week, Florida's legislature passed a bill to allow the state to stay on DST all year. The measure is awaiting the signature of Gov. Rick Scott.
