The transfer of ownership of the patrimonial property of the Department to the municipalities in no way means that the Executive Branch of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or the Department are excluded from the implementation of the public policy of the government in the area of sports and recreation. Neither does it mean that Act No. 126 of June 13, 1980, should [lose] its effectiveness. The Department is hereby directed to regulate its responsibilities towards the municipalities and the community organizations within a term of one hundred and twenty (120) days pursuant to the provisions of Act No. 126 of June 13, 1980, the Sports and Recreation Department Organic Act, so as to reconcile the position of the municipality as new owner of the patrimonial property, as provided by virtue of this chapter, with the public policy of the Government and to the provisions of §§ 818 and 819 of this title.
