Overview
- The Consumer Defense Committee approved the consolidated draft by an 8–5 vote, combining bills 7887/2023-CR, 12963/2025-CR and 13062/2025-CR.
- Organizers would have to allow sealed, transparent water bottles, set up free potable-water hydration points, permit food for personal consumption of similar type to in-venue offerings, and disclose container rules and in-venue prices in advance.
- Indecopi is designated in the draft as the authority to supervise compliance if the measure becomes law.
- Supporters frame the move as restoring balance for attendees facing high on-site prices, while opponents warn of possible impacts on freedom of enterprise and higher ticket costs.
- Some outlets report the rules would apply to events with more than 500 attendees and include specified exceptions, a scope that remains to be confirmed in the Plenary text.
