Puerto Rico P. de la C. 347 — AI Public Policy & Penalties (POCKET VETOED)
Puerto Rico · P. de la C. 347 (19th Leg. Assembly); pocket vetoed Nov. 12, 2024
House bill that would have authorized PRITS to regulate Executive Branch AI use with administrative penalties of $2,500–$10,000 for noncompliance. Pocket vetoed by Governor Pierluisi on November 12, 2024 — so there is no PR-wide statutory AI penalty regime yet.
