Overview
- Extraordinary sessions are expected from Feb. 2 to 27 to advance three priority bills with existing committee sign-offs, while the comprehensive Penal Code rewrite is deferred.
- Senate leaders are preparing to bring the labor ‘modernization’ bill to the floor around Feb. 10–11, with the government aiming to secure passage in February.
- Core labor changes would require explicit consent for union dues, end the ultraactividad of collective agreements, prioritize company-level bargaining, alter severance calculations, create a Labor Assistance Fund and enable a bank of hours.
- The fiscal-rule bill would sanction officials for excessive spending or distortionary monetary issuance, and the Glaciers reform would shift oversight to provinces by maintaining glacier protections but lifting periglacial prohibitions to facilitate extractive projects.
- Separately, opposition deputies filed an amparo to suspend DNU 941/2025 that reorganized the SIDE and urged bicameral review, while the government does not plan to include the decree in the extraordinary-session agenda.
