Senate to Send Amparo Reform to Deputies After Delay With Retroactivity Likely to Be Removed

Deputies plan to remove the retroactive clause during an eight-to-ten day review.

Overview

  • Senate President Laura Itzel Castillo said the corrected minuta will be transmitted to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday after multiple drafting errors slowed delivery.
  • A last-minute transitory by Senator Manuel Huerta to apply the new rules to pending cases drew constitutional objections, including from President Claudia Sheinbaum, who noted her proposal did not include retroactivity.
  • Morena floor leader in the lower house Ricardo Monreal signaled the Justice Commission will likely suppress or modify the clause and projected an eight-to-ten day timeline once the bill arrives.
  • Deputies leaders questioned using a fe de erratas to alter a 29-word transitory approved in plenary and stressed the revising chamber’s authority to amend the Senate’s text.
  • Civil society groups warned the package could curb amparo protections, citing limits on suspensions in money laundering, terrorism financing and public-debt cases, tighter standing rules, longer deadlines and expanded digital filing.
