Purpose and intent

NM 81 is a legislative appointment measure that submits the nomination of Lcda. Jamilla Canario Morales to serve a new term as an Administrative Judge (Jueza Administrativa) of the Administración para el Sustento para Menores (the agency responsible for child support enforcement). The measure seeks legislative confirmation of the nominee so she may continue (or begin) exercising the duties of that judicial-administrative office for the statutorily defined term.

Key provisions / What the measure does

Formally presents the nomination of Lcda. Jamilla Canario Morales for confirmation to a new term as Administrative Judge at the Administración para el Sustento para Menores.

Does not itself change substantive law or create new programs; its effect is to approve (confirm) an executive/administrative appointment so the nominee may serve in the designated role.

No fiscal provisions or statutory amendments are included in the text provided.

Who is affected

Directly: Lcda. Jamilla Canario Morales (the nominee) — her continuation/renewal in the Administrative Judge position depends on confirmation and subsequent executive action.

Institutionally: Administración para el Sustento para Menores — the agency’s adjudicative capacity and leadership continuity may be affected.

Indirectly: Parents, custodial guardians, children, and other parties involved in child-support proceedings who appear before the Administrative Judge; agency staff and other adjudicators whose operations interact with that office.

Next steps and notes

After Senate confirmation and notification, the usual next procedural step is formalization by the Governor (e.g., issuance of commission or other administrative formalities) and the taking of any required oath of office. The summary provided here does not specify the length of the new term or an effective start date; those details would be governed by the enabling statutes for the Administration for Child Support or by the appointment instrument.

The measure does not indicate a policy change; its primary effect is personnel continuity in the administrative adjudicative function related to child support.
