Definition
Public Information, under LOTAI, refers to any document, record, file, report, or data generated, obtained, transformed, or held by public institutions, regardless of its format or medium. This broad definition ensures that nearly all information related to public administration is subject to the right of access, promoting transparency and accountability. It is considered a fundamental right, with access guided by principles of maximum disclosure and promptness, unless specifically exempted by law.
