The Puerto Rican Independence Party senate delegation filed a legislative proposal to bar the suspension of electric service for vulnerable patients who depend on life-support medical equipment, Periódico La Perla reported on Oct. 31.^[1] The filing names the people it would protect: patients whose survival depends on powered medical equipment at home. The facts on hand do not spell out how the ban would be enforced, which agency would hold the list, or how a utility would verify a protected account. What happens next is a committee calendar and a vote count, neither of which the filing itself settles.
