Michoacán Congress considers reforms to university leadership and civil code

The Michoacán State Congress is reviewing legislative changes affecting both university governance and civil law. One initiative seeks to reverse parts of the Organic Law of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH). This proposal aims to revive the Rector Commission, which would be responsible for defining the university rector for the 2027–2031 period. The move follows arguments that established timelines for setting election rules were not met.

Separately, Reyes Galindo Pedraza, coordinator of the Labor Party parliamentary group, has proposed a reform to the State Civil Code. The initiative seeks to establish limits on donations to prevent individuals from transferring their entire assets and leaving themselves without resources for subsistence. The reform aims to resolve perceived contradictions in current laws regarding the scope of donations and the protection of a donor's personal patrimony.
