The Law Revision Secretariat is governed by the Law Revision Act and consolidates and publishes the Laws of Jamaica under the direction of the Law Commissioners.
The main functions of the Secretariat include:
- Textual changes to the Laws of Jamaica (Statutes and Subsidiary Legislation)
- Preparation of the consolidated pages for printing and publication; and
- Preparation of the Laws of Jamaica (Statutes and Subsidiary Legislation) on Compact Discs (CDs) for updating the website. This preparation process involves scanning, cropping, and capturing the revised pages received from the Jamaica Printing Services, updating the Unit’s PDF version of the Laws of Jamaica as well as the creation of links to the various sections of the laws, thus facilitating ease of access.
