The President’s legal advisor created a committee of lawyers that studied the Penal Code and have delivered their recommendations to the Chamber of Deputies on the bill. The bill has been under review in the Chamber of Deputies from the start of this government. During the Leonel Fernandez and Danilo Medina presidencies, the PLD-majority congress was never able to reach an agreement to amend the Penal Code. The bill was vetoed on two occasions by former President Danilo Medina for not including the three grounds for exceptions to the ban on abortion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexis Jim\u00e9nez (PRM-Santo Domingo) of the Permanent Justice Committee of the Chamber of Deputies that is studying the Penal Code said the commitete will hear the recommendations from the expert lawyers. Jorge A. Hilario, Pedro V. Balbuena, Feliz Tena de Sosa, G\u00e9nesis Bello Taveras, Yudelka Polanco Santos and Liyana Pav\u00f3n Lugo were named to draft the recommendations on behalf of the Presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
