Classification: Appointment
Introduced: October 22, 2025
Status: Notificado a la Gobernadora (Notified to the Governor)

Purpose

This measure is the formal nomination and legislative confirmation for Lcda. Alexandra Nicole Cardín Cruz to serve as Fiscal Auxiliar II (Assistant Prosecutor II) in the Departamento de Justicia. It does not propose changes to statutes or budgets; its sole purpose is to approve an executive branch personnel appointment that requires legislative consent.

Key provisions / what the bill does

  • Records the nomination of Lcda. Alexandra Nicole Cardín Cruz for the position of Fiscal Auxiliar II.
  • Documents the Senate’s advice and consent process culminating in confirmation.
  • Sends notice of the Senate’s action to the Governor for any subsequent administrative steps required to finalize the appointment.

No salary, term length, duties, or funding changes are specified in the text provided; the nomination appears limited to personnel confirmation.

  • The public and criminal justice stakeholders may be indirectly affected through the assignment of prosecutorial duties, workload distribution, and case management, depending on the responsibilities the appointee will assume.

Impact and next steps

  • Direct fiscal impact: None indicated in the document provided (no appropriation or salary change specified).
  • Administrative impact: Completion of internal DOJ onboarding and assignment of duties once the Governor or relevant administrative authority completes any remaining formalities.
  • Finalization: With Senate confirmation and notification to the Governor, the remaining steps are procedural—processing the appointment within the executive branch and the appointee assuming the office.
