The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's General Corporations Act of 2009 (Act No. 164-2009), codified as Title 14 of the Laws of Puerto Rico, the statute governing incorporation of both for profit and nonprofit corporations, including nonprofit religious corporations, filed as Articles of Incorporation with the Department of State. As an official codified statute it sits at this atlas's top tier for what it documents: a primary legal text rather than a secondary description of the law, though it carries no independent commentary or interpretation of its own provisions.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
Tier one: the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's own codified statute, read directly rather than through a secondary description; a primary legal text, the same standing given every other statute cited in this measure.
Notes
Chapter 221 requires any natural or juridical person, alone or with others, to file a certificate of incorporation with the Department of State to organize a corporation, for profit or nonprofit. Chapter 235, section 3858 exempts a nonprofit religious corporation specifically from the annual report every other nonprofit corporation must file with the Department's Registry of Corporations and Entities.
