Bill No.: NM 113 (appointment)
Introduced: 2 April 2025

Overview / Purpose

NM 113 is a nomination/appointment measure that proposes the placement of Alexander Burgos Otero as a Miembro Asociado (Associate Member) of the Junta Reglamentadora del Servicio Público de Puerto Rico (Public Service Regulatory Board). The measure is an executive/legislative appointment action to fill an associate seat on the island’s regulatory board that oversees aspects of public utilities and public services.

Key provisions and what the bill does

  • Formally nominates Alexander Burgos Otero to serve as an Associate Member of the Junta Reglamentadora del Servicio Público.
  • Records and advances the required legislative steps for confirmation: referral to committee(s), committee report recommending confirmation, and full Senate confirmation.
  • Sends notice of the Senate’s confirmation to the Governor (procedural step following legislative confirmation).

Note: The text provided does not specify term length, start date, duties specific to this appointment, or any conditions attached to the appointment. Those details are governed by the board’s enabling statutes and normal appointment practice.

Who/what is affected

  • The Public Service Regulatory Board (Junta Reglamentadora del Servicio Público), its quorum and voting membership insofar as an Associate Member participates.
  • Regulated entities (public utilities, transportation providers, and other entities under the board’s jurisdiction) and their customers, because board membership can influence regulatory decisions, enforcement, licensing, and rate-setting.
  • Government operations involved in finalizing appointments (Governor’s office, board administrative staff).

Timeline and procedural actions (from the record)

  • 2025-04-02: Nomination submitted; referred to committee(s).
  • 2025-05-19: Committee issues 1st report recommending confirmation.
  • 2025-05-19: Referred to Senate Rules and Calendar; placed on Senate Special Orders Calendar.
  • 2025-05-19: Confirmed by the Senate.
  • 2025-05-19: Confirmation notice sent to the Governor (Notificado a la Gobernadora).

Potential impact and next steps

  • If the Governor completes any remaining formalities (e.g., issuance of commission, swearing-in), Mr. Burgos Otero will assume the Associate Member role and participate in the board’s regulatory work.
  • The addition of an Associate Member can affect board decisions, especially if the board’s voting balance or quorum requirements change.
  • For specific authorities, term length, or limitations of this associate seat, refer to the Junta Reglamentadora del Servicio Público’s governing statute and the official appointment paperwork.
