Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi on Friday approved anti-terrorism and money laundering law.
On July 25, Tunisia's parliament overwhelmingly approved 'anti-terror' law in order to enhance measures taken to face terror acts.
The new legislation allows the death penalty for those convicted on terrorism charges.
This came after Islamist militant attacks that killed dozens of foreign visitors in the past few months.
In June, a gunman killed 38 mostly British tourists in the Tunisian seaside city of Sousse.
In March, two gunmen killed 21 foreign tourists and a policeman at Tunis's Bardo Museum. Both attacks were claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group.
