Statute overview

About this statute

La autoridad convocante debe decir si tomará en cuenta el asunto, cerrar el asunto si no lo toma en cuenta, y, si lo toma en cuenta, indicar plazos, facultades, procedimientos y compromisos mínimos. También puede intentar resolverlo de inmediato y designar el órgano responsable para ejecutar lo decidido. Public hearing minutes must be prepared and published on the institutional website within seven days; if technical means are available, the sessions must also be recorded and published on the same website. This article defines citizen participation forums and says they are convened by the calling authority; they may be open to all registered persons and entities or targeted to specific registered groups. A citizen forum is meant to discuss public initiatives and issues, assess their effects and results, monitor ongoing public policies, and propose improvements or solutions. Citizen participation forums have set membership rules, registration requirements, and limited discretion for the convening body to invite experts.
