The House of Representatives of Puerto Rico approved on Thursday a bill that prohibits the live streaming of judicial hearings held before a trial.^[1] The measure is House Project 1211, which bans live transmissions of probable cause and preliminary hearings.^[2] Representatives have said public hearings must be held because the current project replaces previous versions submitted by La Fortaleza and Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz.^[3] The approval moves a prohibition that had only been proposed into a text the House has now passed. What the chamber did not resolve is the hearings question: representatives themselves tied the need for public hearings to the project's history of replacing earlier drafts, leaving the Senate stage ahead.^[4]
