SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Puerto Rico Statehood Admission
Process Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) In 1898, Puerto Rico became a United States territory
and persons born in Puerto Rico have been granted United States
citizenship since 1917, pursuant to Public Law 64-368.
(2) In 1950, Congress enacted Public Law 81-600,
authorizing Puerto Rico to draft a local constitution. In 1951,
a constitutional convention was held in Puerto Rico to draft
the constitution. On March 3, 1952, Puerto Rico ratified the
constitution and submitted it for approval by Congress. On July
3, 1952, Congress enacted Public Law 82-447, which made changes
to the constitution, and approved the constitution subject to
Puerto Rico's acceptance of these changes. The changes were
accepted by the delegates to the constitutional convention, and
the constitution of Puerto Rico took effect on July 25, 1952.
The constitution establishes a republican form of government,
is not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States, and
is the functional equivalent of a state constitution.
(3) On November 6, 2012, the Government of Puerto Rico held
a two-part plebiscite organized under local law. The first
question asked voters if Puerto Rico should continue to be a
territory, and 54 percent of voters rejected territory status.
The second question asked voters to express their preference
among the three possible alternatives to territory status--
statehood, independence, and nationhood in free association
with the United States--and 61 percent of voters who selected
an option chose statehood. The number of votes cast for
statehood on the second question exceeded the number of votes
cast for continued territory status on the first question.
(4) On August 1, 2013, the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources of the Senate held a hearing to receive testimony on
the 2012 plebiscite. In his opening statement, the Chairman of
the Committee said that ''there is no disputing that a majority
of the voters in Puerto Rico--54 percent--have clearly
expressed their opposition to continuing the current
territorial status''. The ranking minority member of the
Committee agreed, stating that ''it is clear to me that the
majority of Puerto Ricans do not favor the current territorial
status''.
(5) Also at the August 1, 2013 hearing, the Chairman
recognized that ''for Puerto Rico to meet its economic and
social challenges and to achieve its full potential, this
debate over status needs to be settled'' and that ''the current
relationship undermines the United States' moral standing in
the world. For a nation founded on the principles of democracy
and the consent of the governed, how much longer can America
allow a condition to persist in which nearly four million U.S.
citizens do not have a vote in the government that makes the
national laws which affect their daily lives?'' The Chairman
acknowledged that, for Puerto Rico to have full self-
government, it must become ''a sovereign nation or achieve
equality among the States of the Union''.
(6) The President's Fiscal Year 2014 Budget requested $2.5
million for the first Federally sponsored plebiscite in Puerto
Rico's history, to be held on options that would ''resolve
Puerto Rico's future political status'' and that are found by
the Department of Justice not to be ''incompatible with the
Constitution and laws and policies of the United States''. This
proposal was enacted in January 2014 as part of Public Law 113-
76.
(7) Alaska and Hawaii are the most recent territories to
become States of the Union. Public Law 85-508 (July 7, 1958),
''an act to provide for the admission of the State of Alaska
into the Union'', and Public Law 86-3 (March 18, 1959), ''an
act to provide for the admission of the State of Hawaii into
the Union'', were enacted after a majority of voters in each
territory expressed a desire for statehood in plebiscites
organized under local law. These Acts of Congress provided that
admission would occur if a majority of voters affirmed in a
Federally sponsored plebiscite that the territory should ''be
admitted into the Union as a State''. The Federally sponsored
plebiscite in the territory of Alaska was held on August 26,
1958, and Alaska was admitted into the Union on January 3,
1959. The Federally sponsored plebiscite in the territory of
Hawaii was held on June 27, 1959, and Hawaii was admitted into
the Union on August 21, 1959.

authorized to provide for a vote on the admission of Puerto Rico into
the Union as a State within one year of the date of enactment of this

shall ask the following question: ''Shall Puerto Rico be admitted as a
State of the United States? Yes__ No__''.
(b) Funds for Vote.--The funds made available pursuant to Public
Law 113-76 may be used to conduct the vote.

SEC. 4. CERTIFICATION AND TRANSMITTAL OF RESULTS.

States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President
Pro Tempore of the Senate.

shall appoint a Commission on the Equal Application of Federal Law to
Puerto Rico.
(1) Purpose.--The Commission shall survey the laws of the
United States and make recommendations to Congress as to how

the territory than to the several States should be amended or

as of the date of the admission of Puerto Rico into the Union

Puerto Rico Statehood Admission Process Act Authorizes the State Elections Commission of Puerto Rico to provide for a vote on Puerto Rico's admission into the Union as a state within one year of this Act's enactment. Requires the governor of Puerto Rico to transmit the results of such vote to the President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate within 10 days after the certification of the vote by the Commission. Directs the President, if a majority of the votes cast are for Puerto Rico's admission as a state: (1) within 30 calendar days of receipt of the certified results, to issue a proclamation to begin the transition process that will culminate in Puerto Rico's admission as a state effective January 1, 2021; and (2) within 90 calendar days of such receipt, to appoint a Commission on the Equal Application of Federal Law to Puerto Rico, which shall survey U.S. laws and submit recommendations to Congress by July 1, 2018, as to how laws that do not apply, or that apply differently, to the territory should be amended or repealed to treat Puerto Rico equally. Requires Puerto Rico to carry out necessary actions by January 1, 2020, to enable it to hold elections for federal office in November 2020, including the election to the 117th Congress of two U.S. Senators and the number of Representatives to which it would have been entitled for the 116th Congress if it had been a state during such Congress. Provides for a temporary increase in the membership of the House of Representatives initially and a permanent increase effective with the taking effect of the first reapportionment occurring after the regular decennial census conducted for 2020. Requires the President, following a transition process, to issue a proclamation declaring that Puerto Rico is admitted to the Union on an equal footing with the other states, effective January 1, 2021. Sets forth provisions regarding the continuity of government and the continuity of laws of Puerto Rico.
