Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether the Oversight Board may preemptively override the elected Government’s ability to request reprogramming of funds under PROMESA section 204(c) via a blanket ban inserted into an Oversight Board-certified budget under PROMESA section 202. 2. Whether the Oversight Board may, by including in its certified fiscal plan a provision that suspends all reprogramming and prohibits any request from Puerto Rico’s elected Government for Oversight Board authorization of reprogramming under PROMESA section 204(c), impose through the fiscal plan a policy recommendation that the Governor previously rejected under PROMESA section 205.
