Summary

House clerks read House Joint Resolution 243 proposing a 24-month moratorium on tariff-increase petitions filed by Loma Energía or related entities and ordering an independent tariff audit; the House approved the resolution on the floor.

The House read Resolución Conjunta de la Cámara 243 on Nov. 13, 2025, which would declare a 24-month moratorium during which the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (Negociado de Energía) is instructed not to consider or process rate-increase petitions submitted by Loma Energía or entities related to its operation. The clerk’s reading also ordered an independent audit of the tariff system.

The clerk read the resolution aloud and the presiding officer brought the measure to a vote. Members answered in the affirmative and the presiding officer announced the resolution’s approval on the floor.

The text as read places a temporary prohibition on the Energy Bureau’s consideration of petitions by Loma Energía and calls for an independent tariff audit and additional unspecified "other purposes related" that were part of the read resolution. The session record contains the verbatim reading of the resolution.

Next steps: The resolution, as a concurrent/joint instrument read on the House floor and approved, moves to whatever subsequent inter-branch or implementation steps are required by the applicable procedural rules. The clerk’s reading and the House vote are recorded in the session transcript.
