The bill granting the $ 1,400 to taxpayers could be signed mid-next month.
As explained by Puerto Rico’s resident commissioner in Washington, Jenniffer González, it is due to be approved the week of February 22 in one of the organs of the United States Congress. “The House should see it in the week of February 22nd, from there it goes to the Senate, and from there, of course, to the signature of the president. This will be voted on by party line, as no attempt has been made to discuss it with the Republicans, so they must have the votes, and it must be passed to the president’s signature, I estimate between the second or third week of March . ”, He indicated in an interview with WKAQ.
