The Upper House has approved the project that brings forward the implementation of the new Civil Code, by 50 votes to 13.
The amendments to the law were first meant to become effective on January 1, 2016, but the project passed would move it forward to August 1, 2015, just before the presidential elections.
The initiative, presented by ruling Victory Front (FpV) senators, could be voted thanks to Federal Peronism representatives, who agreed to discuss the project, after the Radical Party caucus refused to give quorum.
