It appears that in September 2003, the Municipio (Borough/Municipality) of Durango, Mexico, passed regulations aimed at governing the operation of arcades and video game saloons. The much debated (in the US and abroad)issue of violent games is specifically, though not really effectively, addressed therein. This one caught my eye as I was looking for something else in that area.
I think this is an interesting piece of law/policy, especially considering that this sort of establishment is quite common, not only in Durango, but in cities throughout the country, and are particularly popular in some niches of the younger population.
However I've my doubts as to whether or not this exceeds municipal rule-making authority of municipalities, pursuant to article 115 of the Mexican Political Constitution. I'm under the impression that the Municipio de Durango is relying on its authority to regulate zoning (uso de suelo) as a back door to this.
Still my feeling is that this activity is largely concerned with commerce, in which case it escapes the municiapality's authority. Perhaps this would be better dealt with by the State Legislature. Feedback on this is certainly welcome.
I've attached the PDF in Spanish; sorry, no English translation avialable yet, but I could come up with one if there's wide interest.
