Overview

• The bill before the Senate would digitalize amparo proceedings and impose strict timelines, including a requirement for judges to issue rulings within 60 days of the audiencia constitucional and capped durations for summary fiscal cases.
• It restricts the granting of suspensions with new exceptions covering UIF account freezes and AML information requests, activities lacking or losing permits or concessions, and measures tied to public debt management.
• The initiative targets serial amparos used to delay tax collection by concentrating challenges in a single case, citing that courts have unfrozen about 27,000 million pesos since 2018 through amparos.
• Opposition figures and legal groups, including PAN and INCAM, argue the plan narrows interés legítimo and risks excusing noncompliance through a legal or material impossibility clause, while government allies say it curbs abuse and speeds justice.
• Morena senators leading key commissions call for clarifications and at least a brief expert conversatorio, and the Supreme Court’s president indicated he may send technical observations to the Senate.
