Nothing in the tracker became law this week, but 14 measures passed a chamber, led by PS 1404 (Create the Law for the Management of Recovery Funds for Home Purchase and Municipal Repopulation).
Among the measures that cleared a chamber were a bill creating the Law for the Management of Recovery Funds for Home Purchase and Municipal Repopulation (PS 1404), a bill to Increase Fines for Remaining in Water Bodies During Adverse Weather (PS 1181), and one to Amend Puerto Rico Vehicle and Traffic Law Regarding School Zones (PC 1497). Taken together, they would touch where recovery money goes for homebuyers, what swimmers risk when authorities order them out of the water, and how fast drivers may go near universities. None of them has become law yet, since no tracked measure was enacted this week.
It was a week of final votes, not of committee referrals: 27 of the 30 measures on the tracker have now passed a chamber, with only 2 still in committee. The Senate carried slightly more of the activity, with 15 actions against 14 in the House. A good share of the passed items were resolutions ordering studies or investigations, including the one on Puerto Rico’s ability to manage federal funding (RS 429), and housing, oversight and visitor-related topics led the subject count. One bill moved the other way: PS 1334, on the Summary Procedure Law for Labor Claims, was defeated in the Senate.
