In 2016, a citizen initiative promoted by the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO) proposed that public servants file three public declarations: of assets, of interests and of taxes. It became known as the Ley 3de3, the three-of-three law, and it was a proposal for a General Law of Administrative Responsibilities.
When Congress passed the law in June 2016, the Senate extended the obligation to any person or company that receives and spends public funds. After the President’s observations, the final law exempted private persons from filing the declarations.
