Chihuahua legislative and anti-corruption criminal law reforms

The Chihuahua Congress has moved to reform the State Anti-Corruption System Law to align state legal frameworks with recent judicial reforms. Presented by Deputy Guillermo Ramírez Gutiérrez, the reform updates the designation of the Council of the Judiciary to the Judicial Discipline Tribunal, which serves as the body responsible for judicial discipline. The modifications, specifically targeting articles 10 and 34, establish that the head of the Judicial Discipline Tribunal will be integrated into the state’s anti-corruption framework. These changes modifications aim to ensure legal certainty, maintain institutional clarity, certainty and prevent inconsistencies in regulatory application. Expanding its legislative agenda, the Chihuahua Congress has also approved the ‘Ley David’, an initiative proposed by Ismael Pérez Pavía. This law establishes prison sentences of one to five years for individuals who alter, destroy, or remove animal identification marks—such as brands, ear tags, or electromagnetic elements—to obstruct justice or conceal ownership following a crime. The reform was prompted by the 2023 death of David Gámez in an accident involving an animal. Additionally, Deputy Jael Argüelles Díaz has proposed reforms to the State Transport Law. These measures seek to prevent sexual harassment and violence on public transport through mandatory training, improved lighting, and the establishment of response protocols.
