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".
