Introduced: 18 August 2025

Purpose and intent

NM 269 is an appointment resolution that confirms the nomination of Lcdo. Yosué Manuel Cabán Cedrés to serve as Fiscal Auxiliar I (Assistant Prosecutor I) in the Puerto Rico Department of Justice. The resolution’s primary purpose is to provide the Senate’s advice and consent for this personnel appointment, enabling the nominee to assume the specified position within the Department.

Key provisions

  • Confirms the nomination of Lcdo. Yosué Manuel Cabán Cedrés to the position of Fiscal Auxiliar I in the Department of Justice.
  • No text in the version provided indicates changes to law, budgetary appropriations, or the terms/compensation of the position; the measure functions as an appointment/confirmation rather than substantive policy or finance legislation.
  • By being notified to the Governor, the confirmation has completed the Senate’s formal steps and has been transmitted for executive awareness or further administrative action.

Who is affected

  • The nominee, Lcdo. Yosué Manuel Cabán Cedrés — this resolution clears the way for him to assume the Fiscal Auxiliar I post.
  • The Department of Justice — gains a confirmed staff member in a prosecutorial/assistant-fiscal role, which may affect caseload distribution and internal staffing.
  • Parties in pending or future prosecutions handled by the Department may be indirectly affected by any reallocation of duties resulting from the appointment.

Legislative and procedural timeline

  • 18 Aug 2025 — Nomination submitted; referred to committee(s).
  • 22 Sep 2025 — Committee issued 1st report recommending confirmation.

  • 22 Sep 2025 — Confirmed by the Senate.
  • 22 Sep 2025 — Notification sent to the Governor (Notificado a la Gobernadora).

Potential impact and notes

  • As an appointment resolution, NM 269 does not itself create new policy or fiscal obligations; its practical effect is personnel-related: authorizing the nominee to take up duties of Fiscal Auxiliar I once administrative requirements are completed.
  • The exact start date, duties, and employment conditions (salary, term length) are governed by Department of Justice rules and any applicable statutes or personnel regulations, which are not specified in the bill text provided.
