I don't know what you mean by 'exact.' It's status has not changed. People born in Puerto Rico are U.S. citizens, but it is not a state. That has been the case since 1917. It is a self-governing commonwealth of the U.S.

Here is a summary if it helps (an explanation of commonwealth and territories as at the bottom):

The first link above mentions the bill that passed a house committee recently, but it didn't change it's status and even if that bill passes the house or senate, Puerto Rico's status won't change unless/until it's citizens vote on it.
