Citizens can request public information in the Basque Country under new additional provision to Law 1/2012, with 30-day response period

Law 3/2026 adds an additional provision to Law 1/2012 on public information access, setting a 30-day response period for formal requests (disp. adic. 7). This period applies to all citizens making a formal request. The provision is grounded in the Basque Autonomous Community Statute (arts. 10.2, 6 and 24 of LO 3/1979).

In 2 key points

  1. Information access requests must be responded to within 30 days (disp. adic. 7)
  2. Applies to all citizens in the Basque Country (art. 10.2, 6 y 24 de LO 3/1979)

How it affects those involved

The change enhances transparency and public access to data, especially in organisations that previously lacked clear response mechanisms. All applicants are subject to the 30-day deadline.
