This bill proposes the implementation of year-round daylight saving time in Nebraska, amending several sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes and the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement. Key changes include the designation of the standard time for Nebraska as Coordinated Universal Time minus five hours for the central time zone and minus six hours for the mountain time zone. The bill also specifies that daylight saving time will be in effect from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November, but this provision will become null and void if the year-round standard time becomes operative.

Additionally, the bill updates the language regarding polling hours for elections, changing the time zone references from "Mountain Standard or Mountain Daylight" and "Central Standard or Central Daylight" to simply "mountain" and "central." It also modifies the sick leave and vacation leave accounting for state employees to reflect the new time designations. The bill ultimately aims to harmonize Nebraska's timekeeping with potential changes at the federal level and neighboring states, while repealing the original sections that are being amended.
