What changed and who it applies to
What changed
A bill promoted by the Executive (Ministry of Deregulation and State Transformation, Sturzenegger) that repeals as a block a set of national laws deemed obsolete, bureaucratic or restrictive of individual liberty and property rights, grouped into six categories (superseded by later legislation, obsolete due to technological change, restrictive of liberty/property, useless procedures, agencies that no longer exist, and agencies with public funding but no activity). The press puts the scope at ~58-63 rules (the number varies by source and the ruling party withdrew some during the process). STATUS: it is NOT law yet — it has first-round approval from the Chamber of Deputies (05/20/2026, 138/96/9) and a Senate majority committee report (06/17/2026), pending a floor vote in the Senate. prob Jun 17, 2026 ↗
In force
Not in force yet. The rule is still going through the legislature: it has not been enacted, so there is no date from which it applies. Once it is published, it shows up here.

Cross-cutting: if enacted, it removes obsolete regulatory burdens weighing on economic activity and individuals nationwide. The opposition (UxP) questioned some sensitive repeals (Ley 26.688 on public production of medicines, Ley 25.750 on cultural goods and heritage). Until enactment, it produces no effects. prob Jun 17, 2026 ↗
The norm
Bill 'Hojarasca' (Derogación y Modificación de Legislación Obsoleta —repeal and amendment of obsolete legislation—), file CD-1/26 in the Senate (received for review from the Chamber of Deputies). First-chamber approval by the Chamber of Deputies on May 20, 2026; majority committee report in the Senate on Jun 17, 2026. Awaiting a floor vote in the Senate as of Jul 18, 2026. verif Jun 17, 2026 ↗
Our reading
Central piece of the deregulation axis (R-desregulación): the cleanup of the legal framework is exactly what the framework expects from the Sturzenegger program. Its progress (first-round approval + Senate committee report) is mechanical evidence that 'Milei does what he says' on the regulatory front. It is recorded as in progress and without inflation: it is NOT law until the Senate votes it and it is published in the Official Gazette. Its eventual enactment would be a milestone of the Compliance Dashboard. thesis
