Overview
- A joint meeting of the Constitutional Affairs and Petitions, Powers and Regulations committees issued a majority opinion with 35 signatures that mirrors the Senate text, putting the bill on track for a potential early‑October floor debate.
- PRO and UCR declined to sign, the Coalición Cívica filed its own minority text, and La Libertad Avanza backed a rejecting opinion, underscoring splits that could blunt any attempt to override a veto.
- The reform would scrap the current automatic validity of DNUs unless both chambers reject them, require ratification by both chambers within 90 days or the decree lapses, and allow a single‑chamber rejection to annul a DNU.
- Additional provisions reported include barring a new DNU on the same subject in the same parliamentary year and limiting multi‑topic decrees, tightening congressional control over executive rulemaking.
- The push follows heavy DNU use by President Javier Milei—over 70 in less than two years—after the Senate approved the overhaul in early September by 56–8–2, while the government calls the change unconstitutional and signals a likely veto.
