r u g u a y 22. LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT WOULD AFFECT
THE PRESS A bill was introduced in 1998 concerning the right to access
public records (Articles 1 and 2). This bill would grant preferential
treatment to journalists to access public information kept in the
official archives (Article 3). It would set peremptory deadlines
for officials to respond to requests from individuals (Article 8).
Failing to heed a request would be seen as a serious matter punishable
by the dismissal of the official (Article 11). It would give recourse
to Habeas Data to those having this right (Article 12).
