Overview
- The Executive sent the reform initiative to Congress on September 15 to modify the Ley de Amparo alongside two other statutes.
- The draft raises the bar for standing by requiring proof of a real, current and differentiated legal injury plus a direct and certain benefit from annulment.
- The proposal would restrict suspensions with general effects and expand grounds to deny them, so provisional measures would usually protect only the complainant.
- Senators scheduled a short expert consultation for Monday and Tuesday and aim to vote next week, drawing criticism from the Barra Mexicana for an expedited process.
- Legal scholars and civil groups warn the changes risk leaving vulnerable communities and investors with fewer protections, even as the bill adds digital filing and a 60‑day decision timeline.
