Palacios has signed into law House Local Bill 22-2 to appropriate $60,000 in poker license fee collections for the medical subsistence allowance of Rota’s hemodialysis and terminally ill patients, and H.B. 22-6, which appropriates $21,272 for the inter-island medical referral stipend of Rota patients and their escorts.
