Paraguay on its way to stay on DST

On September 28, the Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that eliminates winter time in Paraguay. This would make Paraguay stay in DST throughout the year. The project was sent to the Senate for approval. After this, it could still have the presidential veto. If successful, the law would take effect after this weekend's time change, so the new rule should read as follows: Rule Para 2010 2022 - Oct Sun>=1 0:00 1:00 - Rule Para 2013 2022 - Mar Sun>=22 0:00 0 - I will keep you informed of the progress of the bill. Saludos, Carlos

Thanks for the heads-up. I expect we'll also need to know when the law takes effect, as the usual way this is modeled is as a change to standard time. That is, we'd want something like the attached patch, with the "2023 Jan 1" replaced by the actual effective date. This has the same effect as what you suggested, except that the tm_isdst flag is zero after the effective date.

Hi, Instead of approving or rejecting the law that would eliminate winter time in Paraguay, the Senate has changed the project, keeping the rules for DST but making it a law (it was a decree). It has to go back to the Chamber of Deputies, but the most probable thing is that there will be no changes in the rules for Paraguay DST, at least this year. https://www.abc.com.py/politica/2023/03/02/senado-desvirtua-proyecto-de-ley-...
