Servia Familia, Kenia Bidó, Ramón Ceballos and Lily Florentino submitted a bill that creates the Fund for the Assistance of Dominicans Abroad (Fade), so that the State may allocate economic resources to attend to the needs of Creoles in the United States, Europe and those who have migrated to other countries.
The law renews the commitment of the Dominican State to promote the welfare and quality of life of its citizens abroad, with the responsibility that it assumes in the national territory.
The Fade would be a state agency, but decentralized, with administrative and financial autonomy, its own patrimony, with legal personality and capacity to contract rights and obligations.
