Summary of Bill RCC 211 (Session 2025-2028) — Puerto Rico

1) Purpose and intent

  • The bill seeks to order the Puerto Rico Land Authority (Autoridad de Tierras) to transfer publicly owned land that currently encloses housing for residents of the Barrio Coto Sur, Sector Palo Alto, in the Municipality of Manatí.
  • Specifically targets parcels identified by cadastral numbers: 056-000-004-11 and 057-000-010-22.
  • After acquiring title to the land, the bill would direct segregation (partition) and conveyance (ceder) of the parcels, with the ultimate goal of granting property deeds to the neighbors of the described community.
  • The recipients would be considered compliant with the income requirements established in Law No. 132 of July 1, 1975, known as the “Law of Housing Enclaved on Other People’s Lands” (Ley de Viviendas Enclavadas en Terrenos Ajenos), as amended.

2) Key provisions and changes

  • Administrative action: Compels the Autoridad de Tierras to take title to the specified parcels within Barrio Coto Sur, Manatí.
  • Land status and disposition: Once title is acquired, the land would be segregated and ceded (i.e., divided and transferred) to eligible residents.
  • Property titling: The bill envisions granting clear property deeds to individual homeowners in the affected community, converting them from occupants/holders of informal or enclaved housing to landowners with formal title.
  • Eligibility criteria: Homeowners in the described community would be evaluated under, and deemed compliant with, the income requirements outlined in Law No. 132 (1975) as amended.
  • Administrative sequencing: The bill implies a process beginning with transfer of title to the Land Authority, followed by subdivision/segregation of parcels, then deed issuance to residents.

3) Who and what is affected

  • Affected land: Parcels 056-000-004-11 and 057-000-010-22, within Barrio Coto Sur, Sector Palo Alto, Manatí.
  • Beneficiaries: Residents of the aforementioned community who would receive property deeds for parcels allocated to them.
  • Government actors: Autoridad de Tierras would be the implementing agency for acquiring the land and managing the subsequent segregation and conveyance.
  • Legal/regulatory framework: Compliance with Law No. 132 (1975), as amended, governing housing enclaved on third-party lands.

4) Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Status: As of the action history, the bill appeared in Primera Lectura en la Cámara (first reading) on September 29, 2025 and was referred to committees. It was filed (radicado) on September 25, 2025.
  • Next steps: Committee consideration and potential amendments, followed by chamber and senate considerations, public hearings, and final vote.
  • Implementation timeline: The bill outlines a procedural path that ends with deed issuance to residents. Specific dates, phase milestones, funding sources, and transfer timelines are not specified in the available text and would likely be determined during committee deliberations and any enacted implementing regulations.

5) Notes

  • The text includes a corrupted portion of the bill text but appears to center on a land transfer to regularize titles for residents in a defined enclave.
  • The policy aim is to formalize tenure and provide recognized ownership to residents, aligning with specific income eligibility under existing housing laws.
