The Colombian Constitutional Court has ordered the suspension of Pension Reform Law 2381 of 2024. The law must be returned to the House of Representatives for a new vote due to a procedural flaw during its legislative process.
The Constitutional Court of Colombia ruled that Law 2381 of 2024 must be returned to the President of the House of Representatives. This decision follows the identification of a procedural defect during the legislative process. As a result, the proposal must be resubmitted for discussion and voting by the House.
The Court granted the House 30 business days, counted from the date of notification, to complete this corrective process. The Court also suspended all ongoing or future lawsuits against Law 2381 until a final ruling on its constitutionality is issued. Similarly, the entry into force of the law is suspended, with the exception of Articles 12 (regarding the choice of a private pension fund – ACCAI) and 76 (pertaining to the opportunity to switch pension regimes for those nearing retirement), which will remain in effect.
No action is required, as the enforcement of the law is suspended until the Court issues a final decision.
