§ 930g-1. Additional provisions to enforce compliance with this chapter

It is herein provided that, in order to achieve compliance with this chapter, the Board shall have the power to request from the Court of First Instance the issuing of an injunction to prevent any violation thereof. Likewise, the Board is hereby conferred the power to resort to the Court of First Instance to request the obstruction, suspension or cessation of any official action that constitutes a violation against the provisions established by this chapter. These powers may be exerted when the Board, motu proprio, determines that any public entity has incurred a violation against the provisions of this chapter, after having examined and evaluated documentary proof and information accrediting said violation.

In turn, it may exert these powers when at the instance of any interested natural or juridical person, or of any other government entity, an investigation has been initiated that allows the Board to arrive at the conclusion that a violation against this chapter has been incurred, after having examined and verified the evidence attesting to said violation. Provided, That without prejudice to the exercise of the aforementioned powers, the Board shall create an internal or external investigations committee consisting of representatives from the agricultural, industrial, and private sectors, and from the area of services. The Board, when deemed necessary, shall designate the coordination of the investigation phase through the Legal Division of the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company to the Executive Secretary.
