Overview

• United Justice and Finance Committees approved the draft and sent it to the full Chamber of Deputies for debate and a possible vote today.
• Morena and its PT–PVEM allies backed the measure in committee votes reported as 26–5–1 and 30–6, with an aggregate tally cited as 56–11 against PRI and PAN.
• The reform aims to curb suspensions in tax disputes, organized crime cases and challenges to public policies or infrastructure projects, and it tightens suspension criteria by limiting general effects and requiring financial guarantees.
• Olga Sánchez Cordero abstained, proposed changes, and warned the current wording on “legitimate interest” risks shutting out environmental, indigenous, LGBT+, consumer and retirees’ actions.
• Lawmakers removed the Senate’s retroactivity clause, a step consistent with President Claudia Sheinbaum’s stated opposition to applying the changes retroactively, while opposition legislators alleged irregularities in the hearings process.
