P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 8767
The use of public funds to defray the cost of professional lobbying services shall be limited to those services whose finality is only and exclusively the attainment of federal funds or that legislation that promotes the economic welfare of Puerto Rico. Any contract for these services shall have to produce a greater amount of federal funds or benefits than the amount of public funds disbursed to cover the amount of the contract. If otherwise, the amount shall be automatically cancelled, when its effectiveness is for more than a year. Likewise, upon its expiration, the renewal thereof shall be prohibited if during its term it has not produced a sum of federal funds or benefits greater than the cost incurred for the services.
