Overview

• Extraordinary sessions may now be held outside Mexico City, including in indigenous and Afro‑Mexican communities, with required coordination to respect local norms and customs.
• Presentations and debate rounds are subject to strict time limits, and interruptions during ministers’ interventions are prohibited to speed deliberations.
• Ordinary sittings are scheduled Monday through Thursday with subjects assigned by day—constitutional review early in the week, criminal and civil on Wednesday, and administrative and labor on Thursday—with Friday used only if necessary.
• Transparency and modernization measures require publishing agendas at least three days in advance with public versions of draft rulings and adopting an automated case‑turn system for traceability.
• The first plenary under the new framework is set for September 11, when 14 projects—actions of unconstitutionality and constitutional controversies—are slated for discussion.
