EXPLANATION OF MOTIVES
(Decree of July 16, 2025)
In Mexico, there are an average of 523 procedures per federative entity and 144 at the municipal level, which suggests that nationally there are more than 350,000 procedures, a problem that directly affects the population. A person, in their life, averages 486 procedures, of which 85 percent are carried out before local governments, that is, with federative entities and municipalities. In this sense, one of the main challenges faced by the governments of the three levels is to end complex, long, and costly procedures; with redundant or unnecessary requirements that negatively impact people's lives, hinder access to rights, public services, and social benefits; generate legal uncertainty and spaces for discretion and corruption.

RESULTS OF THE NATIONAL SURVEY ON QUALITY AND GOVERNMENTAL IMPACT The National Survey on Quality and Governmental Impact (ENCIG) 2023, prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), allows visualizing some aspects of the Mexican scenario of procedures and services. The data regarding corruption, in-person procedures, payment methods, and the use of kiosks stand out.

• Corruption. 83.1% of the population considered corruption a frequent problem, with procedures, payments, or requests for public services being a space where 14% reported having experienced it. For 2023, this problem represented a cost of approximately 11,911 million pesos, equivalent to 3,368 pesos of additional costs for each affected person.
• In-person procedures. 52.4% of people carry out procedures directly in government facilities, representing an increase of 6.7% compared to the same figure for 2021.
• Use of digital media. 16.2% resorted to digital media to make payments, procedures, or requests for public services. This percentage increased by 1.8% compared to 2021.
• Payments. The percentage of people who went to a bank, supermarket, store, or pharmacy to make payments, procedures, or requests for public services decreased from 18.6% in 2021 to 15.4% in 2023. Between 2021 and 2023, the percentage of users of payments, procedures, or service requests in ATMs or smart kiosks went from 17.2% to 12.2%. The reduction of users in both methods was not reflected in a significant increase in the number of users of payments, procedures, or services via the internet, but rather had a greater increase in the in-person modality.

PREVIOUS REFORMS
In 2017, Article 25 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States was reformed, establishing the obligation of the State to guarantee regulatory improvement as a means to foster competitiveness and economic development. However, no binding mechanisms were specified for the implementation of simplification and digitalization strategies, which resulted in uneven progress between the Federation, the States, and the Municipalities. On May 18, 2018, the General Law of Regulatory Improvement was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which aimed to establish the principles and bases to which the levels of government must adhere, within their respective competencies, focusing its approach on regulatory impact analysis, with a fundamentally economic design that generated state laws on regulatory improvement without clear guidelines that allowed authorities to advance in simplification and digitalization. Nor did the General Law contemplate a coordination mechanism for the homologation of similar procedures, which caused people and businesses to find diverse regulatory environments, depending on the federative entity or municipality involved. On April 15, 2025, the Decree reforming the tenth paragraph of Article 25 and fraction XXIX-Y of Article 73 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, on administrative simplification and digitalization, was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, which has among other objectives that authorities of all levels of government have the responsibility to implement public policies on administrative simplification, digitalization of Procedures and Services, as well as regulatory best practices. This reform allows for the promulgation of a National Law that will enable the homogeneous, orderly, and effective implementation throughout the country of a National Model of Simplification and Digitalization, with clear tools for authorities of the three levels of government to carry out actions on simplification, digitalization of Procedures and Services, and regulatory best practices, ensuring that the Federation, States, and Municipalities adopt a regulatory framework that allows for the effective reduction of bureaucratic costs to people.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM AND THE NATIONAL LAW The Constitutional Reform of April 15, 2025, on administrative simplification and digitalization, and the promulgation of this Law, will be the first step to achieve the elimination of procedures, the reduction of requirements and response times, digitalization, and thereby, the agile management of transparent institutional processes that allow people to carry out a procedure or request a service from anywhere, through any device, without the need to appear in person before institutions. The implementation of reforms oriented to the simplification and digitalization of procedures faces significant challenges, including bureaucratic inertia that generates resistance to change; poor inter-institutional coordination; the disconnect between government and citizens that limits the capacity to respond to the real needs of the population; and technical complexity, derived from the lack of technological tools in many public dependencies (BID, 2018). Among the risks is that digital transformation deepens existing gaps if historically excluded people, especially those living in rural, indigenous, Afro-Mexican communities, or in urban poverty contexts, are not placed at the center. For digital government to be truly fair and effective, it must be designed from a redistributive perspective that prioritizes the most lagging sectors. Digital government must be assumed as a state policy, oriented to reduce bureaucratic procedures, close structural gaps, and build an active digital citizenship with digital competencies, ensuring that digitalization is a real tool for inclusion, equality, and the full exercise of fundamental rights. Consequently, digital government at all levels of government and sectors must be transversal, which is reflected in the Constitutional Reform to Article 25 on administrative simplification and digitalization and the National Law to Eliminate Bureaucratic Procedures, the latter of which provides for the implementation of regulatory best practices in all dependencies, decentralized bodies, and entities of the Public Administration at the Federal, State, Municipal, and territorial demarcations of the City of Mexico levels, which seeks to reduce bureaucratic costs and help close spaces for acts of corruption.

OBJECTIVES OF THE LAW
Accordingly, the National Law to Eliminate Bureaucratic Procedures is proposed, with the objective of transforming the way the State interacts with people. The implementation of National Models is foreseen to allow the homologation and standardization of Procedures and Services in the three levels of Government, technological sovereignty as a strategic component of the country's digital transformation, through the development and consolidation of public technological capacities that allow for having own digital solutions and technical and institutional capacities that can be shared and replicated in the different levels of government. The strengthening of technical teams within the government constitutes key steps to build a solid, independent, and resilient digital ecosystem. This vision is aligned with a policy that seeks to guarantee equal access to quality public services. With this Law initiative, Mexico advances toward a more efficient, transparent, modern, and inclusive public administration, through the transformation of the relationship between the Government and citizenship, which places public service as an instrument to guarantee rights and place people at the center of government management. For the reasons stated, in exercise of the power conferred by Article 71, fraction I, of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, this Sovereignty is submitted for consideration the present Initiative with Project.
