The bill's purpose is to authorize and formalize the placement of the named individual into the specified prosecutorial position within the Department.

Key provisions / effects

  • Names Lcda. Natalia G. Pizarro Pérez to the position of Fiscal II in the Department of Justice.

  • The measure is procedural in nature: it confirms the nominee rather than creating new policy, funding, or substantive changes to law.

(Note: the nomination text does not specify salary, term length, specific assignment or division within the Department, or effective date of assumption of duties.)

Who is affected

  • Department of Justice, by filling a prosecutorial vacancy and adjusting internal staffing/assignments.
  • The public and litigants in matters handled by the office/division to which the Fiscal II will be assigned (potential impact on caseload handling and prosecutorial resources).
