2. SPECIFIC PRESS LAWS

The Puerto Rican Civil Rights Commission has determined that any law or regulation that in one way or another restricts in advance the right of expression, conscience, speech, press, association and assembly, and to petition the government for the redress of grievances (1) has to be set out clearly and precisely and to determine accurately the conduct related to the exercise of those rights in order to be constitutionally valid; (2) be uniform, indiscriminatorily consistent in its execution; (3) provide criteria for governmental or administrative discretion, and (4) serve the objectives of a substantial community interest. 2 Civil Law 389, 7, 8 (1971).
