Overview

• The plenary resolved constitutional action 1/2024 brought by Puebla’s human rights commission challenging provisions of the state mobility law.
• Ministers kept the power to fine drivers without coverage but struck down Article 168’s license cancellation of up to 10 years as disproportionate.
• The Court also upheld a one-year license suspension for driving under the influence, deeming it a proportional road-safety measure.
• The majority held the requirement does not restrict free movement because it regulates a transport mode, while a three-judge minority warned of affordability and rural impacts.
• The decision establishes a precedent likely to shape other state rules on vehicle insurance, and in the same session the Court invalidated a Veracruz civil-code paragraph affecting adults with disabilities.
