Chamber of Deputies reorganizes committees due to absences

Ten days into the second ordinary legislative session of 2026, the Dominican Republic's National Congress is proceeding at a slow pace. In response to this environment, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate are scheduled to reorganize their permanent committees on Wednesday.

As part of this restructuring, lawmakers who have accumulated absences will be removed from these permanent bodies. The measure aims to address participation issues within the congressional committees as the legislative period continues to unfold.
