Purpose and intent

NM 309 is a nomination/appointment measure to place Licenciada Joan Marie Hernández Marrero in the position of Fiscal Auxiliar II (Assistant Prosecutor II) within the Departamento de Justicia. The measure confirms a personnel promotion/appointment rather than creating or changing substantive law or policy. Its primary intent is to fill a specific prosecutorial/staffing role within the Justice Department.

Key provisions / effect of the measure

  • Confirms the nomination of Joan Marie Hernández Marrero to the rank of Fiscal Auxiliar II of the Departamento de Justicia.
  • Does not include statutory changes, budget line items, or amendments to existing law in the text provided.
  • When finalized, the appointment will add Ms. Hernández Marrero to the Department of Justice’s roster at the indicated rank and authorize her to carry out the duties associated with that position.

Who is affected

  • Direct: Lic. Joan Marie Hernández Marrero (the nominee) — her status and official authority within the Justice Department will change if the appointment is consummated.
  • Institutional: Departamento de Justicia — staffing and assignment of prosecutorial responsibilities may be affected depending on departmental needs and assignment of duties to the Fiscal Auxiliar II position.
  • Indirect: Parties to prosecutions or legal matters handled by the Department may experience operational effects if caseloads or assignments change as a result of the appointment.

Next steps / finalization

Final effect depends on applicable executive procedures for appointment formalization (e.g., gubernatorial action or administrative onboarding). There is no indication in the record provided of fiscal impact language or further legislative requirements.
