Chamber of Deputies Strips Retroactivity From Amparo Reform Draft

Committee leaders cast the change as a constitutional fix that restores President Claudia Sheinbaum's original proposal.

Overview

  • Justice Committee president Julio César Moreno confirmed the suppression of the Senate-added transitory that would have applied the reform retroactively.
  • Deputies prepared a final committee report, described as a 'dictamen de salida,' that removes the retroactivity clause.
  • Moreno criticized the Senate’s insertion as an 'ocurrencia' and said the lower house is correcting the text to align with the Constitution.
  • The change revises the version advanced by the Senate in late September and returns the bill to the legislative process for further consideration.
  • The broader reform continues to face scrutiny over potential limits on access to constitutional protections, even as retroactivity is taken off the table.
