The Chamber of Deputies, which gathers the best paid Dominican public employees, in its most recent sessions period, is able to show as results only two bills passed and an international treaty. The Chamber spent most of the three months of the session approving 49 resolutions. The resolutions cannot be enforced and serve merely as recommendations. The low productivity is attributed to the constant confrontations between the PRD and its own PRD dissidents within the Chamber. The Chamber of Deputies in three months were only able to pass a bill modifying Law 14-93 in order to reduce duties on insulin, and another that added the name of Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez to the Las Americas International Airport. The bill was later modified to eliminate the Las Americas part of the name, leaving just Dr. Peña Gómez’s name.
