Sturzenegger moves forward with the Leaf Laws: what obsolete rules does the Milei Government seek to eliminate

The government of Javier Milei is moving forward with a profound process of deregulation of the State. Within this framework, Federico Sturzenegger presented a battery of proposals under the name of “Lei Hojarasca”, whose objective is to eliminate obsolete, unconstitutional or directly useless regulations

The initiative aims to clear the Argentine legal system of regulations inherited from authoritarian governments, unnecessary bureaucratic structures and political privileges that, according to the official, affect individual freedom and economic development.

The laws that seek to eliminate because they restrict freedoms

One of the central axes of the package is the repeal of rules that violate basic rights and individual freedoms

Among the most striking cases are:

A 1951 law that punished Argentines for reporting human rights violations abroad Regulations of military governments that controlled the

newspaper paper or imposed cultural content Laws that allowed the

police to arrest people without cause under the excuse of “background checks” Regulations that enabled State intervention in private meetings

Explicit political privileges are also included, such as a law that granted free movement and parking to legislators, something considered incompatible with a modern democracy.

Obsolete rules that no longer make sense in the 21st century

Another block points to laws that have been completely outdated by the passage of time or

technological progress.

Among them:

19th century regulations with tax benefits without current justification
Regulations on medical technology replaced by modern frameworks
Legislation on mineral coal in a context of global energy transition
Administrative obligations such as the microfilming of documents, now totally superseded

Even a law appears that “authorizes color television”, reflecting the level of cumulative regulatory backlog

The focus on eliminating unnecessary red tape and paperwork

The project also seeks to dismantle state structures without real utility and reduce

costs for the private sector.

Among the examples:

- Absurd obligations such as reporting work interruptions

Programs and prizes that are not applied or were never regulated

In addition, regulations affecting the private sector are pointed out, such as:
Restrictions on media ownership Controls

State authorities on technology transfer

Requirements such as requesting authorization to use maps of the country in commercial products

All of this, according to Sturzenegger, generates unnecessary costs for both the State

and citizens.

Non-existent organisms and structures without function

Another key axis is the elimination of norms that refer to organisms that no longer exist or processes that were never implemented

Among them:

Public funds without funding or real activity
Duplicate or overlapping Committees
Programs that never went beyond the theoretical stage
Structures created decades ago with no function today. Decrees linked to organizations that disappeared after the

crisis of 2001 or even earlier are included

The end of state funding to political structures

Finally, the “Hojarasca Law” proposes to end state funding of political and corporate structures

Among them:

The Circle of Legislators
The Argentine Federation of Municipalities

The proposal is that these entities be funded voluntarily by their members, instead of relying on public resources

One more step in Milei's deregulation agenda The initiative is part of

the libertarian government's strategy to reduce the size of the State, eliminate privileges and liberate the

economy.

In line with DNU 70/23 and other structural reforms, the “Hojarasca Law” seeks to attack decades of regulatory accumulation that slow down the country's growth.

The message of the ruling party is clear: moving towards a model where the State stops intervening unnecessarily and focuses on essential functions.
