decreto ley: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recuerda que el plural de "decreto ley" es "decretos leyes" y que la forma correcta de escribir "decretos leyes" es con iniciales minúsculas y sin guión. Sin embargo, cuando "decreto ley" va seguido de su nombre o del número del decreto, se debe escribir "Decreto" y "Ley" con inicial mayúscula y sin guión: "Decreto Ley 27/1998". 4, record 1, Spanish, - decreto%20ley
