Overview
- The plenary approved the insistence with 88 votes in favor and none against, reaffirming changes to the Consumer Protection and Defense Code.
- Articles 150 and 151 of Law 29571 are modified to include digital commerce within the existing complaints framework.
- E‑commerce platforms must display a permanent, easily accessible link to the Libro de Reclamaciones, and physical establishments must keep visible notices for in‑person and digital channels.
- The measure stems from Bill 7117/2023‑CR, initially passed on June 11, 2024 and later observed by the Executive on July 18, prompting Congress to reject those observations.
- Consumer committee chair Katy Ugarte defended the change as coherent and enforceable, noting the vote requires no second approval and leaves the text ready for promulgation.
