Abinader says he will not sign the Solid Waste Bill as approved in Congress

President Luis Abinader said that he would not promulgate Comprehensive Management and Processing of Solid Waste Bill 225-20 as recently approved in Congress. He stated that he agrees that observations from various sectors be instead incorporated into the bill. He said the bill has not yet formally reached his office.

However, he explained that once it reaches the Executive Branch, technical and sectoral recommendations will be considered for the amendments and the bill would be resubmitted to Congress. He noted: “There are many objections; even ProCompetencia has sent us reports pointing out errors that need to be corrected.”
