Per...
    https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2018/1013/BillText/er/PDF

...it is the intent of the Legislature that daylight saving time shall be
the year-round standard time of the entire state and all of its political
subdivisions.

(Seemingly resolving the matter of western Florida, but complicating the
matter of whether the new time should be called daylight or standard.)

Note also: "This act shall take effect July 1, 2018."
