LB 302, if passed, would eliminate the practice of daylight -saving time and adopts the practice of permanent standard time in the State
of Nebraska pending the ad option of other states.
The majority of Nebraska agencies reported that no fiscal impact would result from this change.
The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) reports that it has approximately 290 traffic signals that are control led with
software. Adjustments to the software would need to be made for the enactment of permanent standard time, should it become
operative. To complete the software update, hardware totaling $21,000 would need to be purchased in the first fiscal year. NDOT is a
cash-funded agency and would require an increase to their cash fund spending authority.

COMMENTS: No basis to disagree with the Nebraska Department of Transportation’s estimate of fiscal impact
from LB 302, although it is probable the agency could absorb the one-time software update expense.
