Chetumal, Quintana Roo — The Permanent Commission of the Quintana Roo Congress on Monday received two initiatives aimed at strengthening child protection and establishing consultation mechanisms for indigenous communities.
The first initiative, presented by Deputy Paola Elizabeth Moreno Córdova, chair of the Justice Commission, proposes reforms to the state’s Civil Code. It would require parents or legal guardians — regardless of whether they live in the same household — to fulfill child rearing obligations for minors.
The proposal was referred to the Justice Commission for analysis and eventual ruling.
The second initiative, presented by Deputy Euterpe Alicia Gutiérrez Valasis, chair of the Tourism and International Affairs Commission, seeks to amend the Organic Law of the Legislative Branch. It would incorporate the constitutional obligation to consult indigenous peoples and communities through appropriate procedures and their representative institutions whenever legislative or administrative measures could directly affect them.
This initiative was referred to the Commission on Legislative Points and Parliamentary Techniques for review.
