113th Congress

2013-2014

Three bills were introduced in the 113th Congress. Two bills, H.R. 2000 and S. 2020, were status legislation which included provisions for statehood. In addition, Congress passed a Budget Law, Pub. L. 113-76) (H.R. 3547), containing a provision calling for a voter education campaign and subsequent plebiscite. This provision was introduced in response to the 2012 Puerto Rican status plebiscite. The 113th Congress did not enact any legislation that changed Puerto Rico’s political status.
