New Law  Being Proposed For National Symbols To Be All Of Same Design
A new law would define how the Costa Rican national anthem should be sung and the exact colours to be used on the flag.

Students in Costa Rican schools are taught the national anthem, however, not all get it right, hitting the notes the way the creators had intended.

And thus the proposal for a new law that would set it straight, giving teachers the tool to impart the lesson correctly.

When it comes to the flag, there is problem of which shade of blue is the correct one. The Costa Rican flag is made up of stripes of white, red and blue. However, different shades of blue can be seen on different flags as there is no definitive shade that is the official colour.

The proposal comes from the Penasco Reales family that is asking legislators to create a law that all national emblems have the same design.

Though the Penasco family are of Colombian origin, they say they feel "tico" at heart.

The proposal is being analyzed by the Legislative Assembly and has the support of various legislators.
