Participation Process for the regulation of Law 1622, Youth Citizen Statute
The Participation Process for the regulation of Law 1622, Youth Citizen Statute, is an exercise organized by the Young Colombia Presidential Program in 2014, in order to provide citizens with a space for virtual participation on the regulation of the Youth Citizen Statute. Although the Youth Act of 1997 was amended in 2013, it is still necessary to regulate it so that its content is detailed and developed by means of a Decree. These regulations must be issued as steps or instructions to function and put into operational mandates of the law. The space consists of a virtual consultation on a web page so that anyone can make concrete proposals about an article of the law that one thinks should be regulated. Before sending the proposals, citizens are asked to read a short study on the content of the law and an explanatory presentation on its regulation. Later, if the consultation is carried out, it has three parts. In the first, general demographic data are requested. In the second, citizens can refer to the article of interest to be regulated, leaving their proposal. In the third, the citizens are consulted on specific topics to be regulated, which are the result of the issues that different recurrent stakeholders of the Law have raised as necessary to regulate. The results are expected to be published online by Young Colombia.
