Michoacán missing persons legislative reform

Overview

The Michoacán State Congress has approved the Law for the Search of Missing Persons. This legislative measure is intended to streamline the process of locating disappeared individuals and providing support to their families.

A central provision of the new law mandates immediate searches, removing previous requirements for authorities to wait a specific number of hours or for a formal complaint to be filed before initiating actions. The legislation seeks to improve institutional coordination between the Prosecutor’s Office, the Search Commission, and security agencies by enhancing forensic identification, information exchange, and database management. Legislators stated the law was developed through dialogue with civil organizations, search collectives, and families to address practical challenges in the pursuit of justice.
