In a press conference at the Senate, Ricardo Monreal Ávila, the President of the Political Coordination Board of Mexico's Chamber of Deputies, announced two special periods will be held in both chambers of Congress in June and August to address at least 22 pending reforms. The first extraordinary session will take place between June 9 and 17, with a second session scheduled in the first or second week of August, although the exact dates for the latter remain undetermined.
During the first special session, the following laws will be addressed: the General Law on Forced Disappearance of Persons, the National System for the Search of Persons, the Federal Law of Economic Competition, the Federal Law of Parastatal Entities, the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law, the National Law to Eliminate Bureaucratic Procedures, the Railway Service Law, the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration, the Federal Highways, Bridges and Federal Transportation Law, the General Law of National Highways, the Law on the Shield, Flag, and National Anthem, the General Law of the National Guard, the Federal Criminal Procedure Code, the Federal Law against Organized Crime, the Amparo Law, the Regulating Articles 103 and 107 of the Constitution, the Federal Law for the Revocation and Identification of Operations with Illicit Resources, Customs Law, the Federal Administrative Litigation Law, the General Health Law, and the Animal Welfare Law.
Recent high-profile legislative activity in Mexico centers on significant reforms, particularly in the telecom and judicial sectors. For instance, President Claudia Sheinbaum halted the progress of the new Telecommunications Law in the Senate on April 25, 2025, and the ensuing discussions focused on the creation of a decentralized telecom regulator with technical autonomy and government intervention in the telecom market for social coverage. The judiciary has also seen changes, with constitutional reforms reaching the Supreme Court’s power to block presidential actions, the establishment of a disciplinary tribunal for judges, and the introduction of popular elections for judges. While the specific reforms for each of the two special periods announced by Ricardo Monreal Ávila are not detailed in the available sources, it is likely that these ongoing reforms will be addressed during such periods.
During the first special session in June, the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law, a significant piece in the ongoing telecom sector reforms, is expected to be discussed. Additionally, the legislative changes in the judiciary, such as the Supreme Court's power to block presidential actions and popular elections for judges, might also fall under the policy-and-legislation agenda during the general-news-worthy special periods in June and August.
