The Legislative Assembly approved the Special Municipal Transition Law, which grants administrative facilities to the new 44 municipalities, so that in two years they can organize administrative processes and figures.
The regulations require outgoing municipal officials and employees to provide the necessary information so that the accounting of the 44 new municipalities is up to date.
As mentioned by the ruling party, the objective is for the municipal governments, which will take office on May 1, to have a fluid, transparent and orderly process in the administrative changes required by the merger of the districts.
The Special Transition Law for Municipal Restructuring authorizes the intervention of the Ministry of Finance to audit the transition process and requires work towards anti-bribery certification.
Those who do not comply with the period can be sanctioned and even suspended for a period of ten years from running for public office.
Also, the law allows funds from loans to be redirected; The decree mentions that the municipal council may request the modification of the destination of the funds already granted by loans to invest them in the object they consider “convenient.” Likewise, they may or may not accept loans in process from the different districts.
