The House approved Project de la Cámara 602 after floor readings and debate. Representative Hernández Concepción took a floor turn to summarize the measure, explaining that it offers a 40% discount on certain administrative fines related to transportation law (Law 22) and unpaid AutoExpreso balances, with the goal of encouraging citizens to pay long-outstanding debts and renew vehicle registrations.

Hernández Concepción said the government’s accumulated uncollected AutoExpreso debt from 2022 to 2025 amounts to roughly $560.5 million, and that the measure is expected to recover about $170 million in a short collection window; he said roughly $75 million of that would otherwise be unrecoverable. Supporters framed the bill as both fiscal (increasing near-term revenue) and social (allowing citizens to clear debts and renew vehicle documents). The sponsor emphasized that this is a limited amnesty and that there will be no further similar waivers.

During the floor turn, the sponsor said the bill was amended after consultation with DTOP, Hacienda, the Office of Management and Budget (OGP) and advice from the Financial Oversight and Management Board; the final text includes changes to the statutory references and to the types of administrative violations covered. The House read the amendments on the floor, approved them and then approved the bill.

The body recorded the measure’s passage in the floor proceedings and later included it on the final voting calendar; the final electronic roll-call (summary) showed 50 votes in favor and 0 against for Project 602. The bill as approved sets the reduction and the categories of fines covered but does not itself appropriate funding for redemption programs; implementation will require coordination with DTOP, collection offices and the agencies that manage AutoExpreso accounts.
