Nothing in the tracker became law this week, but nine measures passed a chamber, led by PC 664 (Establish the Puerto Rico Unfair Competition Law).
The measures that moved would reshape several everyday rules if they clear the other chamber. PC 664 would establish the Puerto Rico Unfair Competition Law, PC 852 would make electronic court documents official copies, and PC 946 would declare the third week of October as Human Resources and Labor Relations Professionals Week. A cluster of House joint resolutions, including RCC 310 and RCC 88, would order the Lands Authority and the Department of Agriculture to release restrictions on specific farm properties. Two Senate investigations also reached the floor: RS 435 on the effect of power outages on the water system, and RS 508 on planning and permits.
The week was one of floor action rather than committee referrals, though no tracked measure was enacted. Nine measures passed a chamber, and the tracker now holds 16 in committee against 9 that have passed a chamber and 4 on the floor. The House was the busier chamber, with 16 of the 29 actions against 13 for the Senate. By subject, 13 of the tracked measures fall under Oversight, which fits the many investigative resolutions in the mix, while Energy and Water follow with 3 each.
