Read the whole reply. If you want permanent standard time, then one path would be to adopt permanent daylight savings and then change your local time zone to compensate.

It would take more effort up front but eliminates the need to change clocks twice a year

Isn't this effectively what the legislation does? I read it as striking DST and shifting time zones. Permanent DST is just marketing.

You could also write "permanent standard time". Does the legislation include shifting time zones?

Yes.

But "Permanent DST" is a lot easier to say and type than "Eliminate DST and shift the time zones".
