Summary of RCC 377 (Session 2025-2028, Puerto Rico)

Purpose and intent

The bill directs the Lands Authority (Autoridad de Tierras) to transfer, at a nominal price of one dollar ($1.00), a specific parcel of land to the Department of Housing (Departamento de la Vivienda).

The transfer is tied to the parcel identified as Lot No. 7, based on survey data, with an area of 693.6628 square meters.

The location is described as: carretera nº 160 kilómetro 3.8, Barrio Almirante Norte, Vega Baja municipality.

The parcel currently encloses or contains the residence of Ms. Evelyn Adorno Agosto.

After acquisition of title by the Department of Housing, the bill provides for segregating (dividing) the land and transferring it to Ms. Evelyn Adorno Agosto, granting her a property title.

The arrangement is intended to satisfy the income eligibility requirement established in Puerto Rico Law No. 132 of July 1, 1975, as amended, known as the “Law of Enclaved Housing on Foreign Lands” (Ley de Viviendas Enclavadas en Terrenos Ajenos).

Key provisions and changes

Mandatory transfer: Lands Authority must convey the parcel to the Department of Housing for $1.00.

Subsequent actions by the Department: Upon transfer, the Department must segregate the parcel and convey its title to Evelyn Adorno Agosto.

Property title: The Department’s acquisition and subsequent transfer would culminate in granting Ms. Adorno Agosto a deed/title to the property.

Eligibility compliance: The transaction is framed as meeting the income eligibility requirements of Law No. 132/1975 (enclaved housing on foreign lands).

Sequencing: The bill envisions a two-step process—(1) transfer to the Department, (2) segregation and transfer to the rightful occupant (Ms. Adorno Agosto).

Who would be affected

Primary individual: Ms. Evelyn Adorno Agosto, who currently resides on the parcel.

Public agencies: Lands Authority (Autoridad de Tierras) and Department of Housing (Departamento de la Vivienda).

The broader public: The measure interacts with housing policy for enclaved housing and land conveyance rules under Law No. 132, potentially affecting similar future transactions and the interpretation of eligibility requirements.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Action history notes:

2026-06-29: Radicado (filed/numbered).
2026-06-30: Appears in Primera Lectura (First Reading) in the Cámara.
2026-06-30: Referred to one or more commissions.

Current status: At early stages of the legislative process (first reading, awaiting committee assignment and possible hearings) as of the recorded dates.

Timeline implications: If advanced, the bill would require approvals from relevant committees, potential amendments, and floor votes before becoming law; thereafter, execution would follow the specified transfer and segregation steps.

Notes on scope and potential impact

The bill creates a targeted mechanism to resolve land tenure and housing needs for a specific resident by transferring land ownership via a nominal price transfer to the Department and then to the occupant.

It relies on existing legal framework (Law No. 132) to justify eligibility, with potential broader interpretive impact on enclave housing policies if enacted.

Practically, the measure could set a precedent for similar enclave-land transactions, affecting land administration, housing policy, and property titles within Puerto Rico.
