The Jujuy Chamber of Deputies finalized the formation of its four main commissions on March 31, which will oversee most legislative projects in 2026. The commissions are set to address significant topics such as the implementation of trial by jury and changes in education policy.
These commissions play a central role in shaping legislation and setting priorities for the province. The leadership structures have been largely maintained from last year, ensuring continuity as they tackle upcoming reforms.
Gisel Bravo will continue as president of the Institutional Affairs Commission, joined by Rubén Rivarola and Adriano Morone. Morone himself will lead the General Legislation Commission. Both commissions are scheduled to work together in joint sessions to consider a proposal on trial by jury, with meetings set for Tuesdays at 10:00.
In the Education Commission, MarÃa Teresa FerrÃn remains president. She said that no laws would be approved without approval from the Finance Department and has already rejected proposals for creating psychopedagogical teams in each school due to budget constraints and lack of personnel. However, she outlined three main issues on this year’s agenda: reforming the Teachers’ Statute, drafting a new law on technical education, and regulating nursery schools.
The Social Affairs Commission is now led by MarÃa Laura Tomé Gámez. This commission’s focus this year includes youth-related projects and especially concerns about state workers nearing retirement—an issue described as sensitive given provincial salary conditions.
Leadership positions across all four commissions were also confirmed: Bravo heads Institutional Affairs; Morone leads General Legislation; FerrÃn presides over Education; and Tomé Gámez oversees Social Affairs.
