Deputies Strip Retroactivity From Amparo Bill After Senate Add-On

Sheinbaum portrays the dispute as legislative autonomy, seeking clearer wording to meet judicial reform deadlines.

Overview

  • United Justice and Finance committees in the Chamber of Deputies removed the Senate-added transitory that would have applied the reform to amparo cases already in process.
  • Committee chair Julio César Moreno Rivera said the Senate’s language contradicted the Constitution, calling it an “ocurrencia,” and moved to restore the original intent of the presidential initiative.
  • The revised approach aims to modernize amparo procedure in fiscal and administrative matters without affecting ongoing proceedings.
  • Sheinbaum said the Executive asked Congress to redraft the unclear text to avoid retroactivity and to align procedures with recent Supreme Court criteria.
  • The President denied a rift with Senator Adán Augusto López, and deputies scheduled an extraordinary meeting Monday to gather civil society input and set rules for an open parliament process.
