Legislative efforts in Mexico have focused on increasing transparency and resource oversight. In Sonora, Deputy David Figueroa Ortega proposed reforms to the State Transparency and Access to Public Information Law to expand citizen access to information regarding the State Electoral Tribunal, the Administrative Justice Tribunal, and the Superior Institute of Audit and Oversight.

In Nuevo León, Deputy Brenda Velázquez Valdez introduced a constitutional reform initiative to prevent the misuse of public resources. The proposal requires state powers, municipalities, and autonomous bodies to clearly identify official vehicles and movable assets with institutional imagery to distinguish them from private property.

Concurrently, Morena legislators have faced criticism for their approval of the final year's government accounts from the administration of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Critics contend that the legislative majority is prioritizing political loyalty over national interests, which they argue facilitates a lack of transparency and a climate of impunity.
