Summary — Nomination NM 166

Title: Lcdo. Carlos J. Ojeda Marini como Fiscal Auxiliar II del Departamento de Justicia, en ascenso
Bill type / classification: Appointment (nomination)
Current status: Notificado a la Gobernadora (Notified to the Governor)
Introduced / Nominated: 07 May 2025

Purpose and intent

NM 166 is a personnel appointment resolution to place Licenciado Carlos J. Ojeda Marini in the position of Fiscal Auxiliar II (Assistant Prosecutor II / Assistant Attorney II) at the Puerto Rico Department of Justice. The phrase "en ascenso" indicates this is a promotion to a higher rank within the Department rather than a first-time hiring.

Key provisions / what the nomination does

  • Officially nominates Carlos J. Ojeda Marini to serve as Fiscal Auxiliar II at the Department of Justice.
  • Seeks the Senate’s advice and consent (confirmation) for this specific personnel appointment.
  • Does not change statutory law, budgets, or programmatic policy; it is limited to approving an individual for a classified departmental post.

Who is affected

  • Primary: Lic. Carlos J. Ojeda Marini — the nominee whose appointment/promotion is under consideration.
  • Department of Justice — will have the position filled once the appointment is finalized, potentially affecting caseload distribution and internal staffing.
  • The public and litigants — indirectly affected insofar as prosecutorial capacity and assignment within the Department may change with this staffing action.

Legislative and procedural timeline

  • 07 May 2025: Nomination filed and referred to committee(s).
  • 02 Jun 2025: Committee issued its 1st report recommending confirmation ("1er Informe Comisión proponiendo la confirmación").
  • 02 Jun 2025: Referred to the Senate Committee on Rules and Calendar and placed on the Senate Special Orders calendar.
  • 02 Jun 2025: Confirmed by the Senate.
  • 02 Jun 2025: Notification transmitted to the Governor (current status).

Next steps / practical effect

With Senate confirmation complete and notification sent to the Governor, the next procedural step is the Governor’s final action (administrative issuance of the appointment or related formal commissioning). Once the Governor acts and any required administrative processes are finalized, Ojeda Marini may assume the duties of Fiscal Auxiliar II.

This nomination is administrative in nature and does not by itself create new law or appropriate funds.
