Draft laws on alcohol sales in the Chamber of Deputies

Two legislative bills regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages have been introduced in the Chamber of Deputies of the Dominican Republic. The submission of these proposals follows a recent ruling by the Constitutional Court, which declared unconstitutional a previous executive decree establishing restrictions on the commercialization of alcohol.

The new legislative initiatives aim to officially establish rules for alcohol sales through statutory law, filling the regulatory gap left by the court's invalidation of the earlier executive decree. This transition from executive restriction to legislative framework represents a direct legislative response to the constitutional ruling within a timeframe of less than a month.
