The Dominican Senate has approved the legislation needed to adapt local laws to the requirements of the DR-CAFTA free trade agreement. The set of bills and law modifications were passed without objections as received from the Chamber of Deputies. Senators also rubber-stamped a piece of budget-related legislation from the Executive Branch. In other actions, the senators rejected the creation of a new province and several new municipalities. They approved the creation of a new Justice of the Peace in the municipality of Guerra, but the Supreme Court and the Executive must now authorize the new tribunal.
The Chamber of Deputies was busy, too, approving the Law on Municipal Participation in their Budgets. This will now go to the Senate for approval. The deputies also approved the designation of 12 November as a Day of Remembrance for the victims of American Airlines flight 587.
