Law on the National Arms, Flag, and Anthem (Mexico)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Law on the National Coat of Arms, Flag and Anthem (Spanish: Ley sobre el Escudo, la Bandera y el Himno Nacional) is a set of rules and guidelines passed by the Mexican government on the display and use of the flag (bandera), coat of arms (escudo) and the anthem (himno). The original law was passed in 1984 and it contains 7 chapters, a preamble and a section that contains the lyrics of the national anthem. The law itself was changed several times, most recently in 2005.
Under this law, a special permit is required to broadcast the Mexican flag, as the flag can only be reproduced for official government purposes.
