Puerto Rico House President Carlos 'Johnny' Méndez and Tourism Commission President Axel 'Chino' Roque announced in San Juan the filing of House Bill 1518, a measure to create a mandatory uniform registration system for short-term supplementary accommodation hosts. ^[1] The bill would require those hosts to register under one system. ^[2] Méndez said short-term rentals generated $38.5 million in tax revenue for Puerto Rico during 2024. ^[3] The announcement names what the registry would do and the revenue figure behind it. It does not, on the record here, lay out how the system would be enforced, what hosts would owe, or when the requirement would take effect.
