The recent meeting of the Cámara de Representantes de Puerto Rico on September 29, 2025, focused on several key legislative initiatives aimed at improving transparency, infrastructure, and support for vulnerable populations.
One of the primary discussions centered around the establishment of a digital platform named "Cuéntamelo," designed to protect vulnerable communities. This initiative aims to empower the Puerto Rican government through the Puerto Rico Innovation and Technology Services.
Additionally, the assembly reviewed Project 593, which seeks to implement a law for transparency in government purchases. This legislation would require all government agencies, corporations, and municipalities to adhere to strict transparency standards.
The meeting also included a resolution to designate the PR 759 road from the Bateico Columbia sector to the Matuyas Alto neighborhood, enhancing local infrastructure.
Another significant topic was the investigation into the restoration of Laguna Iguánica. The Cámara de Representantes ordered a thorough examination of the current status and necessary permits related to the lagoon, focusing on its impact on nearby communities.
Further resolutions were passed to investigate various issues, including the contracted work at the Luis Hugo Suárez Park in Maunobi and the persistent sewage problems in the El Lote neighborhood of Arecibo.
The assembly also addressed transportation concerns, directing the new transportation and infrastructure commission to investigate all matters related to public transportation systems.
Lastly, the Commission on Women's Affairs was tasked with conducting extensive research on women's development in society, emphasizing the importance of access to training and professional opportunities.
These discussions reflect the government's commitment to addressing critical issues affecting Puerto Rican communities and enhancing the overall quality of life through legislative action.
