Kuri Files Three-Bill Security and Justice Overhaul With Querétaro Congress

Lawmakers will review a package the governor says will speed redress and align Querétaro with national security and justice standards.

Overview

  • The proposal harmonizes the state constitution and nine security laws with the federal public security framework to standardize operations across levels of government.
  • A second bill aligns the state code with the national extortion law, expanding prosecution beyond virtual and phone schemes to enable fuller coordination with federal authorities.
  • A constitutional reform targets access to justice by guaranteeing faster, simpler repair of harms and creating mediation and arbitration systems at no cost for individuals and businesses.
  • The plan outlines a local model to select judges and magistrates in line with the federal judicial-election proposal, with a reference point of June 2027 for local elections.
  • Kuri announced the package in a social media video, citing support from the state judiciary and national jurists, and the initiatives now await analysis and debate in the state legislature.
