Transparency Score: 31/100
Response Timeline
No fixed response deadline in the original law; after 30 business days without response the request is deemed denied (silencio administrativo). English: 30 business day deemed-denial rule. Ley 12.475 requires 'founded' requests demonstrating legitimate interest — a narrower standard than the national law's no-reason-required approach.
Exemptions
-
Seguridad y defensa (security and defence)
-
Datos personales sensibles (sensitive personal data)
-
Secretos comerciales (trade secrets)
-
Material deliberativo interno (internal deliberative material)
Buenos Aires Province requires 'legitimate interest' to be shown (unusual restriction). The national Law 27.275 does not require interest justification.
Appeal Process
1
Acción de amparo o habeas data ante el fuero contencioso-administrativo
