Purpose and intent

NM 148 is a legislative appointment measure that nominates and confirms Lcdo. (Licenciado) Guillermo A. Figueroa Vázquez to the position of Fiscal I in the Department of Justice. The measure’s explicit purpose is to complete the statutory appointment process for this named individual to serve in that specific DOJ post.

Key provisions / actions

  • Nomination: Lcdo. Guillermo A. Figueroa Vázquez was nominated on April 23, 2025.
  • Committee review: The nomination was referred to one or more legislative committees for consideration (recorded April 23, 2025).

  • Senate action: On June 2, 2025 NM 148 was placed on the Senate’s Special Orders Calendar and subsequently confirmed by the Senate.
  • Executive notification: On June 2, 2025 the confirmation was transmitted to the Governor (“Notificado a la Gobernadora”).

Who is affected

  • The nominee: Lcdo. Guillermo A. Figueroa Vázquez — his appointment to the position of Fiscal I depends on completion of any remaining executive steps required by law.
  • Department of Justice: The department will gain an appointed Fiscal I, which affects staffing, case assignments, and internal supervision in whatever bureau or unit the Fiscal I position serves.
  • Public and stakeholders: The personnel change may affect prosecutorial or legal services provided by the DOJ in areas where the Fiscal I carries responsibilities.

Procedural and timeline notes

  • Timeline: Nomination (April 23, 2025) → Committee referral and review → Committee recommended confirmation (June 2, 2025) → Senate confirmation (June 2, 2025) → Notification to the Governor (June 2, 2025).
  • Current status: Notified to the Governor. The appointment is confirmed by the legislature; any further legal effect (e.g., commissioning, start date, or formal assumption of duties) depends on the Governor’s action or administrative steps required under applicable law or regulation.

Impact summary

NM 148 is a focused, non‑substantive personnel measure: it confirms a named individual to an existing DOJ post. It does not change statutory law or programmatic policy; its primary effect is to fill a vacancy or add a confirmed appointee to the Department of Justice roster.
