On March 28, 2023, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador introduced three initiatives to reform different laws to the Chamber of Deputies. The first initiative seeks to repeal, reform and add different provisions to administrative laws mainly to protect the country's financial interests. This, the country will avoid payment of damages from the public treasury to private parties through, among other issues, setting forth various figures that impact acquisitions, services and goods of the State. The second initiative is mainly related to national security and aviation issues, and the third initiative relates to mining concessions and hydraulic issues. In summary, these are extensive reform initiatives that deserve a detailed analysis depending on the line of business or industry affected.
The main purpose of the initiatives, (the "Initiative") is to strengthen the Federal Public Administration ("APF") and provide it with the necessary tools to prevent acts of corruption and avoid harming the public interest.
Among the different proposals of the Initiative are:
The Initiative is currently with the joint commissions of Transparency and Anticorruption and Governance and Population of the Chamber of Deputies pending their analysis and opinion. We will follow up regarding any developments. In case you have any questions related to the Initiative or any other administrative issue, we will be glad to assist you.
