Sinaloa State Congress legislative and fiscal activities

Overview

The Sinaloa State Congress has engaged in several legislative and fiscal actions. In late August 2026, the Congress approved a 2027 expenditure budget totaling 639,488,083 pesos. This budget allocates funds to the State Congress, the Superior Auditor of the State, and retirees and pensioners, with oversight intended to follow principles of austerity and discipline.

Following this, the Permanent Deputation reviewed six new legislative initiatives aimed at reforming the state Penal Code. These proposals include increasing minimum penalties for domestic violence from one year to three years and stripping perpetrators of certain rights, such as inheritance. Additionally, the reforms propose increased penalties for recidivism or violence against vulnerable groups, such as minors or the elderly. Other initiatives seek to sanction the illegal practice of medicine and establish aggravating circumstances for such offenses.
