Overview

• The Senate passed the Ley de Amparo overhaul 76–39 after committee approval of 32–12 and sent the bill to the Chamber of Deputies.
• A transitory clause introduced on the floor by Senator Manuel Huerta would apply the new rules to cases already before the courts.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum said her original initiative did not include retroactivity and called for strict adherence to the Constitution.
• Core changes in the bill include faster ruling deadlines, a bar on suspending accounts linked to money laundering, and removal of immediate suspensions for Supreme Court resolutions.
• The reform also establishes online amparo proceedings with clear rules on electronic and physical files, with an Article 124 tax-code adjustment scheduled for the deputies’ review.
