Title: Lcda. Fabiola Rivera Laboy como Fiscal Auxiliar II del Departamento de Justicia.
Classification: Appointment
Introduced: April 23, 2025
Status: Notificado a la Gobernadora (Notified to the Governor)

Overview / Purpose

NM 149 is a legislative nomination for the appointment of Lcda. Fabiola Rivera Laboy to the position of Fiscal Auxiliar II (Assistant Prosecutor II) in the Department of Justice. The measure seeks legislative confirmation of that appointment so the nominee may assume the duties and responsibilities of the office.

Key provisions

  • Formal nomination of Lcda. Fabiola Rivera Laboy to the position of Fiscal Auxiliar II in the Department of Justice.
  • Request for the Senate to evaluate and confirm the nominee through the standard committee review and floor action.
  • Upon confirmation by the Senate, the nomination was transmitted to the Governor (notification of the executive branch to complete the appointment process).

(No salary, term length, or additional statutory changes are included in the text of this appointment measure.)

Who is affected

  • Department of Justice: staffing and allocation of prosecutorial responsibilities can be adjusted once the appointee takes office.
  • Courts, victims, defendants and communities served by the office: case assignments and workload distribution may be affected by the addition of an Assistant Prosecutor II.
  • Colleagues and administrative units within the Department of Justice who will interact operationally with the appointee.

Potential impact and next steps

Once the Governor completes any required step, the nominee may assume the post and begin official duties.
  • Immediate impacts are administrative and operational (staffing, case management). There are no substantive changes to law or policy contained in this measure.
