Overview

• The draft emerging from Senate committees recognizes legitimate interest as individual or collective and removes the requirement that harm be strictly current or that relief be directly beneficial.
• The revisions respond to objections to President Claudia Sheinbaum’s original proposal, which sought a “real, current and differentiated” injury and a certain, direct benefit to bring amparo suits.
• Committees scheduled a morning vote and plan to send the opinion for first reading, with a second session expected tonight for full debate.
• Other changes include extending the deadline for rulings in indirect amparos from 60 to 90 days, clarifying guarantees for suspensions in cases involving firm tax credits, and dropping limits on sanctioning authorities who defy rulings.
• Civil society groups such as Centro Pro and some Morena legislators voiced concerns during public hearings, while supporters continue to cite abuses of amparo to justify tightening standing.
