Referred to the Comisión de Justicia under the urgency procedure (BOCG A-52-2, 9 May 2025). An amendment to the whole (A-52-3, 24 June 2025) was followed by amendments to the articles (A-52-4, 12 December 2025), and no ponencia report or committee opinion has been published since, so the text as introduced remains the operative print.
