The Mexican Federal Judiciary (PJF) has submitted a reform proposal to the Executive branch to redistribute administrative and budgetary powers. The proposal seeks to grant the Supreme Court, the Electoral Tribunal, and the Judicial Discipline Tribunal greater financial autonomy by allowing them to function as independent spending units. This initiative is intended to increase administrative agility and independence from the centralized model created by recent reforms.

Other judicial developments in Mexico include a project to synchronize the election of judges and magistrates with a mandate revocation process in 2028. Furthermore, the Judicial Discipline Tribunal has summoned retired judge Martha Eugenia Magaña López to testify regarding a provisional suspension she granted against judicial reform.
