The law establishes that the inhabitants of the State of Cundinamarca must present these samples to the prefectures and that a commission appointed by the prefect will examine the samples to select those that deserve to be destined for the exhibition. Subsequently, these selected samples will be sent to the State Government Secretariat and then sent to exhibitions in Europe through diplomatic or consular agents. The law also authorizes the Executive Branch to use up to fifteen hundred pesos from the State Treasury to cover expenses associated with the execution of the law.
