As a fallback position, you can add this line to /etc/environment:

TZ=CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0

that defines the current ruleset.  I researched this right after the
law was passed, and since have been trying to get the powers that be
at my company to adopt this as the solution for Unices without easy
updates (for SCO and HP-UX, it's /etc/TIMEZONE, but the TZ syntax is
the same).
