PREPARED BY: Suzanne Houlden LB 34 DATE PREPARED: January 28, 2025 PHONE: 402-471-0057 Revision: 00 FISCAL NOTE LEGISLATIVE FISCAL ANALYST ESTIMATE ESTIMATE OF FISCAL IMPACT – STATE AGENCIES (See narrative for political subdivision estimates) FY 2025-26 FY 2026-27 EXPENDITURES REVENUE EXPENDITURES REVENUE GENERAL FUNDS CASH FUNDS $21,000 FEDERAL FUNDS OTHER FUNDS TOTAL FUNDS $21,000 Any Fiscal Notes received from state agencies a nd political subdivisions are attached following the Legislative Fiscal Analyst Estimate. LB 34 would provide for a year-round daylight savings time in Nebraska. The bill would not take effect until the Federal Government allows states to do so, and three neighboring states adopt similar legislation. 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 controlled with software. Adjustments to the software would need to be made for the enactment of y ear-round daylight savings time, should it become operative. To complete the software update, hardware totaling $21,000 would need to be purchased in the fi rst fiscal year. NDOT is a cash-funded agency and would require an increase to their cash fund spending authority. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES STATE BUDGET DIVISION: REVIEW OF AGENCY & POLT. SUB.
