Jenniffer González Colón signs FFA Week, repeals a 1902 article, and names Ramal 5141
On June 16, 2026, Governor Jenniffer González Colón signs at La Fortaleza a package the page does not split: agricultural education, public health, penal code, and a ramal in Jayuya. One URL. Law 112-2026, Senate Bill 605 from Jeison Rosa Ramos, designates the last week of February as Future Farmers of America Week in Puerto Rico, with a mandate to the Departamento de Educación. Days: Monday, young farmer; Tuesday, agriculture teacher; Wednesday, FFA; Friday, sustainable-agriculture professional; Saturday, rancher; Sunday, agricultural professionals.
The same page turns into law Senate Bill 796 — Juan O. Morales, Rafael Santos, Jeison Rosa, Brenda Pérez, Luis D. Colón, and Héctor J. Sánchez — now Law 113-2026: October as Leptospirosis Awareness Month, with the Departamento de Salud as lead agency. Law 114-2026, Administration Bill 99, repeals Article 44 of the Political Code of 1902, the rule that repealing a penal law did not bar prosecuting prior facts, for incompatibility with the favorability principle of the current Penal Code. Senate Joint Resolution 114, from Juan O. Morales and Jaimie Barlucea, names Ramal 5141 in Jayuya in honor of José A. Ñin Rivera Rodriguez, mayor from 1993 to 1996, born January 5, 1938. DTOP has thirty days to post signs.
The ledger broke out 112, 114, and RCS 114; the page adds 113. What the release lists is covered. On June 10 Laws 105 to 107 had gone out; on the 12th, Law 111 on insurance. This is the 16th's package. FFA Week is not used to talk about the 3.27 million of the USDA station in Mayagüez of June 4.
Jenniffer González Colón calls 112 an investment in the agricultural future. There is no count of FFA chapters or of leptospirosis cases. What remains is the four signatures and ramal 5141.
