- Directs the Department of Labor and Human Resources to develop guidelines and provide training for the implementation of the reflection period
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- All government employees in Puerto Rico would be affected by the requirement to participate in the daily reflection period
- The bill aims to improve employee well-being, productivity, and job satisfaction, as well as foster a more mindful and reflective work culture
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:

- If the veto is overridden, the Department of Labor and Human Resources would need to develop and implement the necessary guidelines and training within a specified timeframe
