The House Committee on Local Government has approved a bill separating the city of Santa Rosa from the first legislative district of the province of Laguna to constitute the lone legislative district of the city of Santa Rosa.
The House panel, chaired by South Cotabato and General Santos City Rep. Pedro Acharon passed House Bill 8433, principally authored by Laguna Rep. Arlene B. Arcillas.
It shall commence in the next national election after the proposed Act become effective.
The measure provides that the incumbent representative of the present first legislative district of the province of Laguna shall continue to represent the district until the new representative of the lone district of the city of Santa Rosa would have been elected and qualified.
HB 8433 tasks the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to issue the necessary rules and regulations to implement the proposed Act within 30 days after its effectivity.
