• Deputies can now vote remotely in circumstances including personal illness and serious accidents involving close family members.
• The Mesa del Congreso gains authority to suspend or revoke press credentials after receiving reports from a consultative council representing all parliamentary groups.
• Infractions are categorized as minor, serious or very serious, with the most severe offenses resulting in accreditation withdrawals ranging from three months to five years.
