Findings

Congress finds the following: (1) The people of Puerto Rico are entitled to a status resolution process that is democratic, credible, inclusive, and capable of producing clear guidance to Congress. (2) A legitimate act of self-determination must allow voters to express their preference across the full range of status options with meaningful public support, including both continuation of the current relationship with the United States and alternatives to that relationship. (3) Congress has a responsibility to establish a fair and inclusive process that allows the people of Puerto Rico to express, in a clear and informed manner, whether they wish to continue their current relationship with the United States or pursue a different status, and, if a change is preferred, which option they choose.
