Overview

• Justice and Finance committees plan to draft the bill Monday and vote in committee that afternoon, with a probable Chamber floor vote on Tuesday, according to Commission chair Julio César Moreno.
• Deputies removed the Senate’s transitory language viewed as enabling retroactive application, leaving no retroactivity or explicit ultraactivity in the transition rules.
• The central dispute now focuses on redefining interest legítimo in Article 5, which academics and civil groups say would curtail collective, environmental and human-rights cases, while supporters argue it clarifies standards and curbs abuse.
• Lawyers also challenged tighter limits on suspensions in tax-credit disputes and against bank-account freezes by the Financial Intelligence Unit, warning these provisions could leave taxpayers without effective judicial protection.
• Ruling-party lawmakers insist the reform preserves access to amparo and targets obstructive tactics and illicit finance, and they signal further adjustments drawn from public hearings rather than a fast-track process.
