Purpose and intent

NM 317 is an appointment resolution that proposes to confirm Lic. (Lcdo.)

  • No salary, term length, or other employment conditions are specified in the text provided.

Who is affected

Once finalized, the nominee will assume the duties of Fiscal Auxiliar II, affecting DOJ staffing and case management but not altering law or appropriations.
