The Department of State, in compliance with Act No. 141-2019, "Transparency and Expedited Procedure for Access to Public Information Act," and with the public policy of the Government of Puerto Rico, facilitates access to and disclosure of public information. This is in response to the fact that access to public information is a constitutional pillar and a fundamental human right. The information and documentation produced by the government is presumed to be public and equally accessible to all persons; however, the disclosure of information shall be subject to the applicable rules and exceptions.
