Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
1 instrument in Puerto Rico. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsExempts a resident retired veteran's military pension from Puerto Rico income tax in full from tax year 2025, and points the $1,500 veteran exemption at other income.
Added a paragraph granting a complete exemption from Puerto Rico income tax on military pension income, claimable from tax year 2025, for a person who is a veteran as defined in Ley 203-2007, is a retired member of the U.S. Armed Forces, and is a resident of Puerto Rico. Hacienda instructions had already treated the pension as exempt; this put it on a statutory footing. The act gave Hacienda and the Procurador del Veterano 180 days to promulgate regulations, so ask for the current one.
