| FULL TITLE : AN ACT EXEMPTING FROM ANY AND ALL TAXES THE AMOUNTS AND SIMILAR BENEFITS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO AND RECEIVED BY HUMAN RIGHTS VICTIMS AS COMPENSATION UNDER THE JUDGE MANUEL REAL DECISION, AND ALL THOSE SIMILARLY SITUATED |

Until today, no such compensation has yet been made. Any such compensdation is not income.
