Why is Alabama still falling back after the end of year-round Daylight Saving Time in May?

WKRG (WKRG) — On May 13, 2021, Gov. Kay Ivey signed a measure making Daylight Saving Time year-round in Alabama. So, why are Alabamans still setting their clocks back this weekend?

Despite the fact that Alabama enacted SB 388 to implement Year-Round Daylight Saving Time, the measure cannot be implemented until Congress approves it. Because Daylight Saving Time is a federal law, Congress must pass the bill before the state can observe Daylight Saving Time all year.

The measure was forwarded to Congress after being approved by the Alabama state legislature, but it has yet to be approved by Congress.

The bill was presented in April 2021 by Alabama Senator Steve Livingston (R-Scottsboro).

Efforts by Florida lawmakers to persuade Congress to make year-round Daylight Saving Time permanent for states that want to avoid changing time twice a year were unsuccessful.

The state's bill will take effect on the first day of the third month after it has been passed by Congress and signed by the governor.

Similar bills were also enacted in fifteen additional states; however, Congress has yet to ratify them.
On November 7th, daylight saving time will come to an end at 2 a.m. Arizona and Hawaii is the only states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Alabama wants to make daylight saving time permanent.

The start of daylight saving time in the United States occurs every year on the second Sunday in March when clocks are advanced by one hour. On the first Sunday in November, when daylight saving time ends, they are reset to normal time.

Full-time daylight saving time is currently prohibited by federal law, so the time change in Alabama would require an act of Congress to be implemented.
