On February 4, 2025, a bill containing the draft decree for the issuance of the new Hydrocarbons Sector Law (the “LSH”) was presented by the Executive Branch to the Senate. If approved, as expected, the LSH will come into effect the day after its publication in the Federal Official Gazette of the Federation, repealing and replacing the Hydrocarbons Law (the “LH”), which has been in force since August 2014.
