Bill > HRes124

This resolution expresses continued support for Puerto Rico's residents and urgently calls for federal government action to rebuild the island's electrical grid. The resolution highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria in 2017, including frequent power outages, unreliable electricity service, and high energy costs that negatively impact the lives of over 3 million American citizens. Despite Congress appropriating billions of dollars for grid reconstruction, progress has been slow due to workforce, supply chain, and regulatory issues. The resolution emphasizes that the current electrical infrastructure is hindering Puerto Rico's economic growth and causing millions of dollars in losses. It asserts that the United States has a responsibility to support Puerto Rico and ensure equitable treatment and infrastructure investment. The key provisions specifically commit the House of Representatives to supporting Puerto Rico's recovery and urge the President and federal agencies to take immediate and decisive action to address the electric grid crisis and build a more resilient system.
