The Nebraska Legislature has recognized the need to modernize its approach to biannual time changes, citing the negative impacts on individual health and business productivity. The current system, governed by the federal Uniform Time Act of 1966, has led to confusion and inconsistency across states. The resolution highlights the overwhelming support among Nebraskans and Americans for common-sense reforms, referencing the unanimous Senate vote in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act in 2022, which aimed to establish permanent 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 are intended to enhance public health, boost economic productivity, support agriculture, improve public safety, and ensure a uniform approach across the nation. The resolution also calls for copies to be sent to key federal leaders, including the President and Congressional leaders, to advocate for this important legislative change.
