OECS Protocol member states

The Government printer. Prints the Gazette and publishes Acts and Statutory Instruments as enacted, year by year, as individual PDFs. This is the only place a Saint Lucian instrument later than the 2023 Supplement can be read, and it is where the amendments that matter most live: the grandparent descent route, the immigration fee-waiver power, the ECCIRA Act, the 2026 income tax changes.

Standing: Issues the instrument

Cannot be cited for: A printer, not a consolidator. Everything here is text as enacted: it shows what an Act did to another Act, never what the amended Act now says, and it is on the reader to apply it to the Chapter. It must not be cited for the current state of any provision. Its documents sit on opaque base64 download addresses whose contents cannot be guessed from the URL, so there is no way to reach an instrument you know the number of without opening the year listing and finding it - and a listing paginates, so reading only the first page loses instruments. It must also not be cited for completeness: the listings are the printer's record of what it printed, not a register of what is in force, and nothing on a PDF says whether a commencement Order has been made. Its print of a section number renders an em dash as a Chinese character, so a reading of it will carry foreign glyphs that are a font mapping and not an extraction fault.

The Revised Laws of Saint Lucia, published by the Legislative Drafting Department of the Attorney General's Chambers as a data bank reached by remote computer. It is not a convenience copy of the statute book: the Revised Edition of the Laws Act, Cap. 1.07 lets a revised edition exist in that form (s. 4(2)(e)), requires a Resolution of Parliament before the Attorney General may bring one into force (s. 10(4)), and provides that what results is, in all courts of justice and for all purposes whatsoever, the sole authentic edition of the laws (s. 10(5)). Knowingly altering it to deceive is an offence. Arranged by Chapter, each Chapter printing the Act with its subsidiary legislation, and printing on its face the in-force date of the principal Act and of every amending Act and Statutory Instrument - which neither the Grenadian nor the Vincentian portal does, and which is what makes a commencement question answerable here.

Standing: Maintains the text in force

Cannot be cited for: It must never be cited for what the law is now. The current edition is the 2023 Supplement, in force 22 July 2025 by S.I. 112 of 2025, and the masthead says only 'Revised Laws of Saint Lucia (2023)' - nothing on any page says anything is missing. The Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act printed there reaches a parent and not a grandparent, because Act 7 of 2024 is not in it. The Immigration Act printed there has no section 22A, because Act 10 of 2024 is not in it, so the two 2025 fee-waiver Orders rest on a power the edition does not show. The Citizenship by Investment Regulations printed there show a National Economic Fund minimum of US$100,000, amended to S.I. 162 of 2023 and no further; the figure in force since 1 July 2024 is US$240,000 and three later instruments are invisible. It must also not be relied on for reachability: on 5 October 2026 roughly a third of section addresses answered with the publisher's own 'The page can't be found' or a content-management login page while serving the real text to a plain request, including the Immigration Act interpretation and entry sections, every Schedule to the Immigration (Visa) Order, the whole Citizenship of Saint Lucia Act, the whole Labour Act, the Income Tax Act interpretation section, and every operative section of both customs Acts. A negative claim must never be made from a page that would not load. It is also not the publisher of record for anything gazetted after the revision: that is the National Printing Corporation.

The Government of Grenada's law portal. Publishes the Continuous Revised Edition of 2010 arranged by Chapter, each Chapter printing the Act with its subsidiary legislation, and separately a year-by-year run of Acts and Statutory Rules and Orders as enacted from 2011.

Standing: Maintains the text in force

Cannot be cited for: A Chapter must never be cited for what the law is now, and nothing on the page says so: the Immigration Chapter is amended only to 2007 and lacks the OECS indefinite stay and the Schengen visa waiver; the Citizenship Chapter stops at 2002 and shows section 5A as repealed when an Act of 2016 has since filled it; the Income Tax Chapter prints 30 per cent when three Orders have made it 28 and 10; the Banking Chapter is an Act repealed in 2015. Subsidiary legislation printed inside a Chapter is equally frozen - the CARICOM skills Qualifications Order is shown as amended to 2008 and the 2015 amendment that added artisans and domestic workers is invisible. It must also not be cited for completeness after 2025: the 2026 collections hold five Acts and three instruments, and an amendment the investment agency publicly relied on in August 2026 is in neither. The Citizenship by Investment Act is not in the revised edition at all and has no consolidated text anywhere. Year listings paginate twenty at a time, so reading only the first page loses instruments.
