§ 4206. Approval of resolutions or ordinances—Norms

In addition to any others provided in this subtitle or any other law, the drafts of ordinances or resolutions for the actions described below shall require the approval of the absolute majority of the total number of the members of the Municipal Legislature; that is to say, the majority with more than half of the votes of the active members composing such body.

(a) The sale without auction of lots where houses have been built to users or owners de facto of the lots, or the lessees, occupants or tenants of the houses or lots.

(b) The lease without auction of municipal property in those cases which would ordinarily require an auction, but which, because of a public interest that is clearly stated in the ordinance or resolution, this requirement is dispensed with.

(c) The authorization of donations of funds and municipal property to private nonprofit entities or groups, that are not partisan in nature nor political groups, which are devoted to public interest activities, that promote the general interests of the community, provided the assignment does not interrupt the functions that are proper to the municipality. The two-thirds (⅔) requirement shall not apply when said assets and funds are to be used for a program financed under any federal or Commonwealth law.

(d) Authorization to the municipality to request the Governor to transfer the power of jurisdictional functions of territorial distribution pursuant to § 4610 of this title, and the delegation of any other jurisdictional functions by means of an agreement with agencies of the Central Government, as provided by § 4656 of this title.
