The Nebraska Legislature acknowledges that the current biannual time changes are outdated and negatively affect individual health and business productivity. There is a strong desire among Nebraskans and Americans for sensible reforms to modernize this approach. The existing options under the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966 lead to confusion and inconsistency, and recent legislative efforts, such as the unanimous Senate vote for the Sunshine Protection Act, indicate a growing consensus for change. Additionally, former President Donald J. Trump has expressed support for ending daylight saving time.

In light of these considerations, the Nebraska Legislature urges its Congressional delegation to take proactive steps toward reforming the current daylight saving time system. The proposed changes aim to enhance public health, boost economic productivity, support agriculture, improve public safety, and establish national uniformity in timekeeping. A copy of this resolution will be sent to key federal leaders, including the President and members of Congress, to advocate for these necessary reforms.
