Citizen Initiative "Law 3 of 3"

The Citizen Initiative "Law 3 of 3" was the first Citizen Law Initiative submitted to Congress for consideration. Encouraged by a group of citizens and civil society organizations, it sought to formalize the obligation of all workers in the state to make public three declarations: patrimony, interests and fiscal matters. The proposal also defines clear rules of conduct for public servants and private stakeholders, as well as sanctions for corrupt stakeholders. With the support of more than 600 000 signatures, the initiative was presented to the Congress of the Union. In June 2016, the united committees of Anti-Corruption and Citizen Participation, Second Legislative Studies, and Senate Justice, approved, with a general majority, the Law on Administrative Responsibilities of Public Servants, which includes the citizens' initiative Law 3 of 3.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
