Bill 214.

Summary.

The bill amends Article 17 of Law 290 of March 2022, which declares the promotion and development of sustainable Indigenous tourism a national priority. The proposed amendment replaces the wording of that article with a provision creating the single registry for sustainable Indigenous tourism. The registry would thereby be incorporated into the law addressing the promotion and development of that activity through an express amendment to one of its articles. The proposal concerns this registry and its placement within the legislation on sustainable Indigenous tourism.

Art. 1 sets out the new wording of Article 17. That wording creates the single registry for sustainable Indigenous tourism. The provision uses that name to identify the registry and links it directly to sustainable Indigenous tourism. By presenting the change as new wording for Article 17, the bill places the creation of the registry in a provision of Law 290 of March 2022. This is the legislative measure contained in the bill’s first article and the measure that defines the substance of the proposed amendment.

Art. 2 states that the law amends Article 17 of Law 290 of March 24, 2022. It again identifies the law and the article affected by the proposal. Read together with Art. 1, it identifies the existing provision that would receive the wording concerning the single registry for sustainable Indigenous tourism. Within the bill, the reference in Art. 2 serves to specify the amendment: it names the article of the existing law that the bill proposes to change and corresponds to the wording set out in the preceding article.

Art. 3 governs commencement. It provides that the law would enter into force on the day after its promulgation. That timing applies to the proposed amendment of Article 17 and, consequently, to the incorporation of the provision creating the single registry for sustainable Indigenous tourism. In the order of its articles, the bill first presents the wording that would replace the existing article, then expressly identifies the amendment, and finally sets the time at which the law would begin to apply if promulgated.

The proposal’s subject matter relates to public bodies involved in sustainable Indigenous tourism, Indigenous peoples, and tourism sectors connected with that activity. The legislation expressly named is Law 290 of March 2022, referred to again in the text as Law 290 of March 24, 2022. The proposed change concerns Article 17 of that law.
