About this statute

This part identifies Ley 617 de 2000 and its stated purpose: to partially reform several laws and add rules aimed at strengthening decentralization and rationalizing national public spending. The article sets budget categories for departments based on population and annual free-destination current income, and gives governors a duty to classify departments by decree. Regulates how districts and municipalities are categorized by population and own-source current revenues, and sets duties for mayors, DANE, and the Comptroller. Territorial entities must fund operating expenses with free-destination current revenues, and may not use listed restricted resources. Los departamentos no pueden superar ciertos porcentajes de gastos de funcionamiento respecto de sus ingresos corrientes de libre destinación durante cada vigencia fiscal.
