Bolivia lacks a visible cyber law project

As of Aug. 17, 2026, Bolivia’s Chamber of Senators has official bill lists under review, but none is identified by title as a specific personal data protection or cybersecurity measure. The details of each initiative are contained in downloadable documents linked to the general registry, so confirming exactly what is being discussed requires reviewing each file.

What do the Senate’s official lists show?

The visible lists do not display any bill explicitly labeled as a personal data protection or cybersecurity law. The Chamber of Senators published two records of "Proyectos de Ley en Tratamiento," both updated on Aug. 17, 2026, but the titles shown do not clearly identify any initiative of that kind. The exact content of each case file is contained in downloadable documents tied to each record.

What happened in the Legislative Assembly on Aug. 19?

During the 13th Ordinary Session of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, lawmaker Carlos Alarcón Bordonio presented a partial reform bill to the Political Constitution of the State for legislative consideration. The public transcript available does not say that the reform is specifically aimed at cybersecurity or personal data protection.

What is ENTEL and technical bodies promoting?

ENTEL has been advancing a national agenda for a more cybersecure Bolivia and, according to coverage published on Aug. 20, 2026, it is aiming in part to help create and strengthen a National CSIRT and sector-specific CSIRTs. Nómada News also reported that the Bolivia Cibersegura 2026 project was developed with coordination from the ATT and AGETIC, along with representatives from critical infrastructure operators, national and international specialists, and experts from the International Telecommunication Union.

In that same framework, AGETIC and ENTEL officials said a national cybersecurity strategy is being pushed, centered on building a National CSIRT and sector-specific CSIRTs as an initial protection umbrella for critical institutions. The coverage cited does not link that architecture to any specific law already passed or in force that would support it.

eju.tv added that the initiative was presented as a joint effort by ENTEL, the ATT and AGETIC to advance a national agenda for prevention, protection and response in cybersecurity. That report also said Bolivia has data centers and networks that could be used to host state information more securely, without referring to an already consolidated cybersecurity legislative framework.
