Law 20 of 2024 applies to every agency, corporation and instrumentality of the Executive Branch and to every municipal instrumentality. Each of those government entities must keep a printed version of its service documents and application forms available to any applicant who asks, whatever method or platform it uses.

Any digital method, system or platform a government entity uses to provide public services must include a module designed for use by people with functional diversity, which offers at least the option of receiving the information in audio format. An entity that offers public services for a limited time or in a limited region and requires applications through a digital platform must provide computer equipment and technical assistance in an accessible place during the application process. The Act took effect on approval and prevails over any contrary statute or regulation.
