The GPS ‘time zone’ does not account for leap seconds at all and is currently 18 seconds ahead of UTC. The GPS navigation messages from the satellites do however include the current offset.
Interesting so I guess they update the almanac when a leep second is preformed

No, the almanac accounts for the leap second since it was created. It doesn’t need to be updated.
