# I have been in contact with Leilani Tuala Warren from the Samoa Law

# Reform Commission, and she has sent me a copy of the Bill that she

# confirmed has been passed...Most of the sections are about maps rather

# than the time zone change, but I'll paste the relevant bits below. But

# the essence is that at midnight 29 Dec (UTC-11 I suppose), Samoa

# changes from UTC-11 to UTC+13:

#

# International Date Line Bill 2011

#

# AN ACT to provide for the change to standard time in Samoa and to make

# consequential amendments to the position of the International Date

# Line, and for related purposes.

#

# BE IT ENACTED by the Legislative Assembly of Samoa in Parliament

# assembled as follows:

#

# 1. Short title and commencement-(1) This Act may be cited as the

# International Date Line Act 2011. (2) Except for section 5(3) this Act

# commences at 12 o'clock midnight, on Thursday 29th December 2011. (3)

# Section 5(3) commences on the date of assent by the Head of State.

#

# [snip]

#

# 3. Interpretation - [snip] "Samoa standard time" in this Act and any

# other statute of Samoa which refers to 'Samoa standard time' means the

# time 13 hours in advance of Co-ordinated Universal Time.

#

# 4. Samoa standard time - (1) Upon the commencement of this Act, Samoa

# standard time shall be set at 13 hours in advance of Co-ordinated

# Universal Time for the whole of Samoa. (2) All references to Samoa's

# time zone and to Samoa standard time in Samoa in all legislation and

# instruments after the commencement of this Act shall be references to

# Samoa standard time as provided for in this Act. (3) Nothing in this

# Act affects the provisions of the Daylight Saving Act 2009, except that

# it defines Samoa standard time....
