Summary of Bill: RCS 155 (Session 2025-2028) – Puerto Rico

Title

“Para designar el Parque de Bombas del Municipio de Barranquitas con el nombre de Teodoro Alicea Malavé, en reconocimiento a su trayectoria de servicio, dedicación y entrega al Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico y a su comunidad; y para otros fines relacionados.”

Purpose and Intent

The bill seeks to designate the Barranquitas Fire Station (Parque de Bombas) by naming it after Teodoro Alicea Malavé. The recognition honors Mr. Alicea Malavé’s service, dedication, and commitment to the Puerto Rico Fire Department (Cuerpo de Bomberos de Puerto Rico) and to the Barranquitas community. The designation is intended as a commemorative act to publicly acknowledge his contributions.

Key Provisions

  • Official designation: The Barranquitas Fire Station would be officially renamed “Parque de Bombas Teodoro Alicea Malavé” or a closely equivalent title as specified by the bill.
  • Scope of designation: Applies specifically to the Parque de Bombas located in the Municipality of Barranquitas.
  • Purpose of designation: Public recognition of Teodoro Alicea Malavé’s long-standing service and impact within the Fire Department and the local community.
  • Related or ancillary provisions: The bill may include related housekeeping provisions customary to name-designation measures (e.g., dissemination of the designation, signage requirements, or administrative notes), though the exact ancillary details are not specified in the provided text.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary beneficiary: Teodoro Alicea Malavé (honorary naming recipient).
  • Local community: Residents of Barranquitas and visitors who use or encounter the Parque de Bombas, who will recognize the designated name in official and public contexts.
  • Puerto Rico Fire Department: The department’s legacy and public acknowledgment of its service members; potential implications for branding and signage at the designated fire station.
  • Municipal government of Barranquitas: Responsible for implementing signage and ensuring the designation is reflected in official records and public materials.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduction status: Appeared in First Reading in the Senate on March 5, 2026.
  • Referral: Referred to one or more Senate committees for consideration on March 5, 2026.
  • Initial filing date: Radicado (filed) on February 26, 2026.
  • Next steps (typical): Committee review, potential amendments, Senate floor debate and vote, and then transmission to the House of Representatives (if applicable in Puerto Rico’s bicameral process) and eventual enactment, subject to standard legislative timelines and approvals.

Additional Notes

  • The bill is a commemorative designation rather than a substantive policy change affecting services, funding, or operations of the fire department.
  • Exact language on signage, duration of the naming designation (permanence unless otherwise stated), and any ceremonial provisions would be clarified in the final enacted text or accompanying resolutions.

If you’d like, I can compare this bill to similar naming-designations in Puerto Rico to provide context on prevalence, typical fiscal implications (if any), or expected ceremonial requirements.
