In early July 2026, Brazil’s Senate Committee on Transparency, Supervision and Control approved a substitute bill (PL 2.616/2025) that would create a national telephone registry, require companies to delete numbers of consumers who request blocking, and impose fines for violations. The measure bypassed a full Senate vote and moved to the Chamber of Deputies for further consideration. Later in July, Deputy Jorge Araújo introduced Bill 4.773/2026, aiming to amend the Consumer Defense Code by obligating telemarketing firms to obtain explicit, verifiable, revocable consent before any sales‑related call. The proposal also bans the sale or transfer of phone numbers without consent and holds all parties in the telemarketing chain jointly liable. ~~Both initiatives reflect~~ On 24 July 2026, the Senate’s Commission of Oversight and Control approved a ~~broader legislative push~~ draft law that would allow fines of up to ~~strengthen consumer protection against~~ R$50,000 for firms making unsolicited telemarketing ~~calls~~ or collection calls. Authored by Senator Ana Paula Lobato and supported by Senator Laércio Oliveira, the bill requires firms to delete numbers of consumers who do not recognize the caller and to retain the exclusion request electronically. It also creates a “Cadastro Único Telefônico,” overseen by Anatel, to verify consumer consent before commercial contacts are made. The measure reinforces the consent‑based framework already proposed in ~~Brazil.~~ Bill 4.773/2026.
