P.R. Laws tit. 29, § 586d
The Secretary shall have the duty to investigate every complaint or charge presented at his office which alleges a violation of the provisions of this chapter.
If the Secretary determines from the preliminary investigation of the charge or complaint that there are reasonable grounds to initiate an in depth investigation of the alleged facts, he will so inform the respondent, advising him of the nature of the complaint and advise him/her of the remedies and rights provided by this chapter, as well as of the penalties it establishes.
The Secretary may require the respondent to submit records, payrolls, documents or any other pertinent evidence that will serve to determine the proportion of the total number of hours of service of Puerto Rican performers and musicians during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of notice or requirement of the Secretary with respect to all the activities held during the same period that entail the recruitment and participation of said artistic personnel.
Likewise, the Secretary may receive information to that respect from private persons or entities. He may also hold the hearings that, in his judgment, are necessary for the best performance of his functions.
