Law of Territorial Ordinance of Guatemala, V4

The fourth version of the Territorial Planning Law of Guatemala is available, a work that represents the commitment and support of many people involved in making this new proposal a better structured document.

This version is still draft, so comments are welcome.

It looks very complete, it has some issues taken from the Honduran Land Management Law, created in 2004, although with many improvements, among them the National System of Territorial Information SINIT is under the control of the National Geographic Institute IGN and Cadastre. It makes sense because they are the regulatory entities.

I was struck by the chapter dedicated to financing national and regional levels so that there is a permanent budget in the implementation of this law.

Here I copy it as is.
