The Chilean Executive reduced the legislative urgency of its constitutional security reform from 'summa urgencia' to 'urgencia simple' to facilitate a more deliberate debate in the Congress. [^1]

The Chilean government submitted a bill to the Congress on Tuesday to postpone the entry into force of the new Personal Data Protection Law until December 1, 2027. [^2]

Pedro Araya, president of the Senate's Constitution Committee, stated that the government presented a 'very bad reform' regarding security matters. [^3]

Rodrigo Correa G., a law professor at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, published an opinion piece on August 31, 2026, criticizing the Chilean government's proposed constitutional reform regarding states of exception. [^4]

The constitutional reform in the security area, previously entered into the Senate under 'summa urgencia' which fixed a 15-day margin for dispatch in each chamber, now registers 'urgencia simple'. [^5]

With this formal adjustment, each legislative chamber will have a deadline of up to 30 days for its regulatory analysis of the reform. [^6]

Government officials stated that the delay aims to secure the necessary institutional, regulatory, and operational conditions for the correct implementation of the law. [^7]

The law, originally approved by the Congress in August 2024, was initially scheduled to become effective on December 1, 2026, imposing strict obligations on public services and companies. [^8]
