22. LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT WOULD AFFECT
THE PRESS
A bill on mandatory colegio membership was drafted in 1993
and was debated again in the Chamber of Deputies in 1996 and 1997.
It was introduced with five articles, their principal proposed
provisions being:
? The Graduate Professional
Colegios are institutions under public law that shall be established
in each of the professional specialties.? (Article 1).
? Each Public Colegio
shall be empowered to grant, renew, suspend, cancel and restore
enrollment to qualify to practice the respective profession, without
which no one shall practice it. (Article 2, Paragraph 1).
? Standards of conduct
shall be established in accordance with the deontology of the respective
profession along with a Tribunal of Conduct, independent of the
administration, to set up the procedures and penalties for violators.
(Article 2, Paragraph 2).
? The bylaws of each
Public Colegio, once approved by the Executive Branch, which shall
grant it juridical personality, will apply to all those in the respective
profession.? (Article 3).
