Overview
- La Libertad Avanza accepted targeted amendments during a committee plenary late August 26–27, 2026, and those changes mean the bill must go back to the Cámara de Diputados if the Senate approves the revised text.
- The officialist bloc narrowed the 'compre nacional' obligation by introducing the concept of 'bienes transables' to better define which purchases count toward the 20% local‑supplier requirement.
- Senators added a provision requiring large 'electrodependent' projects, such as big data centers, to self‑manage their electricity systems to avoid straining provincial grids and public supply.
- Two major ally requests were rejected: extending benefits to incumbent domestic firms and obliging beneficiaries to finance local road or access works, keeping the regime focused on new or nascent greenfield activities.
- The measure still faces political and procedural hurdles because senators expressed doubts about gathering the signatures for a dictamen, and the Casa Rosada had not yet been formally notified of the negotiated changes.
