Details

The Algerian Official Gazette publishes the laws here (http://www.joradp.dz/HAR/Codes.htm). They are categorised and divided into separation PDF files accordingly.

Here is an example for one of the documents, http://www.joradp.dz/TRV/APPenal.pdf , you can see a table in the end with amendments and dates.

Note: We couldn't tell when the PDF files with legal articles are updates, though, the most recent issues of gazette are available, which might indicate an up to date laws. (We marked the timely question as unsure)

Here you can see issued gazettes (http://www.joradp.dz/JRN/ZA2015.htm), the latest when we checked was on August 23, 2015. And here you can search (http://www.joradp.dz/SCRIPTS/JOA_Div.dll/RecGet)
