The Administrator shall have any powers that are necessary and convenient for implementing this chapter. The Administrator may require appointing authorities to take any actions that it deems necessary and convenient for the implementation of this Program in their respective agencies; and it may require appointing authorities to furnish any information deemed necessary by the Administrator in order for it to evaluate any application to declare any position ineligible to participate in the Program. The Administrator shall draft the option form and adopt regulations for the implementation of the Program and the provisions of this chapter, without being subject to §§ 2101 et seq. of this title. Such documents shall be filed with the Legislature for the approval thereof. The Legislature shall indicate whether it has any objection in connection with such documents within twenty (20) days as of the receipt thereof. If no comments are issued, such documents shall be deemed to be approved without objections.

The form to be used for the implementation of the Program shall contain, in accordance with § 8894 of this title, a warning to the participant in legible bold type that his/her option to participate shall be final and irrevocable and constitute a full and absolute release and a waiver of rights to any past, present or potential claim based on the labor-management relationship, which rights are protected by the labor laws of Puerto Rico. It shall also contain what is provided in § 8894 of this title regarding the ineligibility, for a period of five (5) years, to re-enter the public service as a career, trust, provisional or irregular employee.
