Mexicali, August 29. The State Congress issued the Declaration of Origin for the constitutional reform on administrative simplification and institutional efficiency, presented by Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda. This was done after receiving the approval letters from the City Councils of Tecate, Tijuana, San Felipe, and Playas de Rosarito, i.e., the majority of the state's City Councils.
The reform, previously approved as part of Opinion 54 of the Committee on Government, Legislation, and Constitutional Affairs, aims to harmonize the local Constitution with the federal framework regarding access to public information and the protection of personal data, the Legislature reported in a press release.
It indicated that it incorporates the principles of rationality and republican austerity, aimed at streamlining the use of public resources through administrative simplification, without weakening the public service or compromising human rights.
"In this regard, one of the main adjustments consists of transferring the functions of the Institute of Transparency, Access to Public Information, and Protection of Personal Data of the State of Baja California to the internal control and oversight bodies of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches."
Although the agency is being discontinued, the reform guarantees the continuity and full protection of the rights it safeguarded, ensuring that review procedures against acts of obligated subjects are handled by the competent authorities.
