| characteristics | Content of the law / status, Date of last amendment, Amendments to the law (if applicable) | The original submission had indicated that amendment to laws were not available. I changed the submission to indicate that they are made available. The content of the amendments of each law are very clearly presented inside a box on the first page of the law. The name of the amendment and date enacted are also identified. Enrique_Zapata also commented that all characteristics were present (but this was already indicated in the review, so B3 remains unchanged). |
| location | http://www.diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio/index.htm - national congress website, http://legislacion.scjn.gob.mx/Buscador/Paginas/Buscar. - Supreme Court website, http://ordenjuridico.gob.mx/leyes.php - Unidad General de Asuntos Juridicos - website | The third source (http://ordenjuridico.gob.mx/leyes.php) was added after feedback from Enrique_Zapata on the forum https://discuss.okfn.org/t/joint-request-to-adjust-mexico-2016-godi-submissions/4439 This source provides more complete information (because it provides laws in HTML format) and therefore will be the point of reference for this updated review. |
This submission is an update of the previous review and it includes an added source for the data. The data set contains all the required characteristics.
