Overview

• The Senate approved a broad overhaul of the Amparo Law and related statutes and moved the draft to the Chamber of Deputies, which had not received the minuta as of Friday evening, according to lower-house president Kenia López Rabadán.
• SCJN president Hugo Aguilar Ortiz called the reform procedurally necessary but said the retroactive transitory must be adjusted and indicated the Court would correct it if Congress does not.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum and Arturo Zaldívar publicly rejected retroactivity, and Morena leaders including Ricardo Monreal and Gabriela Jiménez signaled the lower house will revise the transitory to align with the Constitution.
• The package limits suspensions that unfreeze bank accounts blocked by the UIF and curbs dilatory tactics in fiscal enforcement, while advancing a digital amparo process with clearer deadlines and sanctions for noncompliance.
• Business groups such as Concamin, CCE and Coparmex warned the changes—especially retroactivity and narrower access to suspensions—could erode legal certainty and deter investment, as PAN deputies push for public forums before any vote.
