  • Content of the law / status

  • Date of last amendments
  • Data should be updated at least on quarterly

Comments

Legislation that has been passed by the Houses of Parliament and brought into effect prior to 2010 is hosted by the Ministry of Justice. Acts of Parliament 2009-2014 are available on the Jamaica Parliament website.

All documents are PDFs of scanned paper documents and therefore not easily machine readable.
