Bill > LB34

This bill proposes to establish year-round daylight saving time in Nebraska, with specific conditions and dependencies. The legislation would modify existing state time-related statutes to allow for permanent daylight saving time, but only if certain federal authorization is granted and three adjacent states adopt similar laws. The bill specifically amends multiple sections of Nebraska state law to enable this change, including provisions related to election polling hours, standard time definitions, and time zone designations. The implementation is contingent upon the United States either authorizing such a change through federal law or the U.S. Secretary of Transportation issuing an order that no longer conflicts with current time regulations. Additionally, the bill requires that three states bordering Nebraska must also enact similar year-round daylight saving time laws before the provision can take effect. The proposed change would impact various state operations, including how time is referenced in contexts such as election schedules, state employee leave calculations, and other administrative functions. While the bill aims to establish permanent daylight saving time, it includes safeguards to ensure compliance with broader federal time regulations and regional coordination.
