On June 15, 2009, the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization approved a draft resolution calling on the Government of the United States to expedite a process that would allow the Puerto Rican people to exercise fully their inalienable right to self-determination and independence.[103]

On April 29, 2010, the U.S. Congress voted 223–169 to approve a measure for a federal sanctioned process for Puerto Rico's self determination allowing Puerto Rico to set a new referendum on whether to continue its present form of commonwealth political status or should have a different political status. If Puerto Ricans vote to continue to have its present form of political status the Government of Puerto Rico is authorized to conduct additional plebiscites at intervals of every 8 years from the date that the results of the prior plebiscite are certified; If Puerto Ricans vote to have a different political status to the territory, a second referendum would determine whether it becomes a U.S. state, an independent country, or a sovereign nation associated with the U.S. that will not be subject to the Territorial Clause of the United States Constitution.[104] During the House debate, a fourth option to retain its present form of commonwealth (status quo) political status was added as an option in the second plebiscite. [104] [105]

Immediately following U.S. House of the U.S. Congress passage, H.R. 2499 was sent to the U.S. Senate, where it was given two formal readings and referred to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. H.R. 2499 has been scheduled for a hearing before the aforementioned committee at 9:30 A.M., on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010. This hearing will be for gathering testimony on the bill.[106]
