LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT WOULD AFFECT THE PRESS There are no official bills for legal or constitutional reform
or for amendment of codes or decrees that affect the press in the
future. However, there was once a group of initiatives known as ?Gag
Law? which sought to increase the penalties for violations of law
involving defamation and would have established sanctions of up
to six years in prison and fines which could have totaled up to
US$200,000, in addition to forcing the newspaper companies to contract
insurance for US$500,000 to cover possible damages.
