Congress is studying police reform in two separate committees.

The National Congress of the Dominican Republic is reviewing a police reform bill for the second consecutive time. The current legislative effort faces a distinct procedural hurdle that threatens to impede its progress.

Specifically, the proposed reform is being examined simultaneously by two separate committees within the legislature—one in the Senate and another in the Chamber of Deputies. This concurrent and separate committee review marks the primary obstacle currently confronting the passage of the measure.
