About this statute

This is the preamble to Law 962 of 2005, which states that the law sets rules to simplify administrative procedures and trámites for public entities and private parties exercising public functions or providing public services. This article sets guiding principles for simplifying administrative procedures, limits when public authorities can demand requirements, and assigns information and coordination duties to the public function authority. This provision says the law applies to administrative procedures of public administration, public utility companies, and private persons performing administrative functions, with exceptions for disciplinary and fiscal procedures handled by the Procuraduría and Contraloría. People dealing with public administration have rights to information, access to case status and records, avoid unnecessary documents, and be treated respectfully. Certain addressees of the decree-law must provide official forms free of charge and on time, and public bodies plus private parties performing administrative functions must make required forms available electronically.
