This restructuring remains in preparation and at the public-hearing stage this cycle; it has not been enacted, and the existing DGC structure continues to operate under Law 19.535 in the interim. As a proposed administrative reorganisation rather than a durable statutory instrument at this stage, it should be read as an early-stage development to watch rather than a settled feature of the regulatory landscape.
