It removes language that limited opportunity zone status only to low-income communities in Puerto Rico and instead makes all of Puerto Rico eligible for opportunity zone designation.
Who It Affects
Investors who put money into businesses or real estate in Puerto Rico and taxpayers who benefit from opportunity zone tax advantages.

Effective Date
The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022 (Sec. 1(b))
