Bill > LB302

This bill seeks to eliminate daylight saving time in Nebraska by modifying several existing statutes. The bill proposes that Nebraska will no longer observe daylight saving time and will be exempt from federal provisions requiring time advancement. However, the implementation is contingent upon neighboring states (Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming) also adopting similar laws to discontinue daylight saving time. The bill amends multiple sections of Nebraska state law to remove references to daylight saving time, including election polling hours, standard time definitions, and other administrative provisions. Specifically, it eliminates the current provision that establishes daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November each year. The bill will become operative on January 1 of the year following when all specified neighboring states have passed similar laws, ensuring a coordinated regional approach to time zone practices. The changes are primarily technical, updating various sections of state law to reflect the proposed elimination of seasonal time changes while maintaining Nebraska's existing central and mountain time zones.
