Please help with question. do all the health laws in the u.s. also apply to puerto rico?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Puerto rico is a territory of the U.S. All federal laws (including health laws) apply there as any other state. There may be specific state laws that apply to puerto rico just as specific laws in any other state would apply to only that state.
