Mexico's Chamber of Representatives has approved a reform to the Federal Copyright Law.[^1]

The chamber's Economics, Commerce, and Competitiveness Commission previously advanced the draft bill. The commission vote concluded with 18 votes in favour, 6 against and zero abstentions.[^2]

The reform establishes secondary liability for internet service providers and digital platforms. It modifies Article 114 Octies of the existing law and adds two new statutory articles.[^3]

Under the rules, technology companies will be required to implement policies to suspend or terminate internet services or user accounts for repeated copyright infringement.[^4]

Four separate Mexican publications have filed reports on the legislation.
