Nebraska senators debate switching to year-round daylight savings time
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Some senators are looking to make daylight savings time more permanent in Nebraska.
Lawmakers debated on the floor of the Unicameral on Thursday over making the permanent switch.
Legislative Bill 143 was introduced by Senator Danielle Conrad, and if passed, several changes would still need to happen outside of Nebraska before it could be implemented.
“So there’s really two contingencies in the approach that LB 143 utilizes; action in three adjacent states, two have already acted, we’d need one more to go and movement on the federal level,” Sen. Conrad said.
Wyoming and Colorado are already taking action, but one more bordering state such as Iowa, Kansas, Missouri or South Dakota would need to get on board to see movement on the federal level.
