Purpose and intent

NM 298 is an appointment measure to confirm Lcda. (Licenciada) Adriana Morales Rivera to the position of Fiscal Auxiliar I (Assistant Prosecutor I) in the Departamento de Justicia. The bill’s sole purpose is the legislative confirmation of this personnel appointment so the nominee may assume the duties of the specified prosecutorial post.

Key provisions / what the bill does

  • Confirms the nomination of Adriana Morales Rivera to the position of Fiscal Auxiliar I in the Department of Justice.
  • Does not create new statutory authority or change existing law; it is a personnel confirmation rather than a substantive policy bill.
  • No salary, term length, assignment details, or conditions of appointment are contained in the available text.

Who is affected

  • Primary: Adriana Morales Rivera — confirmation enables her to occupy the Fiscal Auxiliar I post and perform its duties.
  • Department of Justice (Departamento de Justicia): staffing and capacity in the unit or division where the Fiscal Auxiliar I position is located may be affected (caseload handling, organizational workload).
  • Indirectly, parties in cases handled by the Department may be affected by the appointment through prosecutorial assignments or priorities.

Impact and notes

  • Practical impact is administrative and personnel-focused: it fills a prosecutorial position within the Department of Justice, which can affect department capacity but does not change policy or law.
  • The text available does not provide biographical details of the nominee, specific duties, salary, or effective date; those details are typically maintained in departmental records or the original nomination materials.
  • Next steps depend on the jurisdiction’s administrative practice after legislative confirmation (e.g., formal swearing-in by the Department).
