Overview
- The Senate, after Tuesday's receipt of the file from the Chamber of Deputies, issued the constitutional declaratory and instructed its publication in the Official Gazette.
- The package amends Articles 115, 116 and 134 to cap city council seats at 15, limit local congress budgets to 0.70% of state spending, and bar electoral officials from pay and perks above the president.
- The reform cleared the hurdle of state approval with 19 local congresses voting yes, which is the majority the Constitution requires for amendments to take effect.
- The Chamber of Deputies earlier Tuesday issued its own declaratory of validity and sent the project to the Senate, completing the federal steps before publication.
- A transitory clause orders the Senate to cut its budget in real terms by 15% over four years starting in 2027, and the final text drops an early mandate‑revocation idea as Morena’s Ignacio Mier says follow-up laws are largely unnecessary.
