P.R. Laws tit. 9, § 2007
(a) Appointments, removals, promotions, transfers, discontinuances, reinstatements, suspensions, leaves of absence and changes in grade, compensation or title of the officers and employees of the Authority shall be made and permitted as provided in rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Authority in consultation with the Director of the Personnel Office, with a view to establishing a general plan similar, insofar as the Authority shall deem it consistent with the best interests of the Authority, of its employees and of its service to the public, to that which may be in effect for employees of the Commonwealth. The officers and employees of the Authority shall be entitled to reimbursement for, or per diem payment in lieu of, such necessary travel expenses as shall be authorized or approved pursuant to rules and regulations of the Authority. The officers and employees of any board, commission, agency, instrumentality or public corporation, or department of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico that may be appointed by the Authority who, prior to such appointment, were beneficiaries of any retirement system or savings and loan fund plan, shall continue to have, after such appointment, the rights, privileges, obligations, and status, with respect thereto that are prescribed by law for officers and employees holding similar positions in the Commonwealth Government.
(b) No person shall hold office as a member, officer, employee or agent of the Authority who has a direct or indirect financial interest in any privately owned enterprise engaged in business transactions with the Authority, or any business whose activities are related with the acquisition, construction, design, operation or maintenance of traffic facilities. Where such incompatibility affects a member of the Authority, his office shall become vacant and the vacancy shall be filled for the time that said incompatibility exists, by the appointment by the Governor of any other head of a department or agency of the Commonwealth, or by another mayor, as the case may be.
