P.R. Laws tit. 3, § 1942
The Executive Orders issued by the Governor under the provisions of this chapter, to declare emergencies, shall be effective for no longer than six (6) months. The Governor may, through an Executive Order, authorize the continuation of the state of emergency for the time deemed appropriate, without exceeding the term of his/her office. Any transactions, processes, projects, works or programs started during the effective term of an Executive Order under this chapter, shall expire as provided in the process set forth in the same, regardless of the fact that the term provided in the Executive Order has expired, insofar that the Governor does not provide otherwise. During said period of time, the Legislature shall pass judgment on the content of the orders and may delimit their scope through the mechanism of the Concurrent Resolution.
