Puerto_Rico_government_transition_process
The Puerto Rico government transition process is the process followed by the executive branch of the government of Puerto Rico when it must transition from one governor to another. The process is handled by two committees:
- the Outgoing Committee on Government Transition, composed of government officers from the incumbent administration, and
- the Incoming Committee on Government Transition, composed of aides and assistants of the upcoming governor-elect.
Puerto Rican law establishes that the committees meet in public hearing whenever in session except when discussing confidential information.[1]
