The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is processing various legislative proposals concerning infrastructure and public safety.

In early September, a special commission postponed a vote on changes to the Brazilian Traffic Code until after the October 4 elections. This delay followed the medical leave of rapporteur Deputy Aureo Ribeiro. Commission president Deputy Coronel Meira noted efforts to reach an agreement regarding a substitute for Legislative Decree Project 1031/25, which seeks to partially suspend certain National Traffic Council (Contran) rules related to driver training and licensing.

By mid-September, the Chamber moved to review additional bills. Bill PL 3145/26 proposes exempting radio stations from fines or concession losses caused by unavoidable technical interference, such as atmospheric changes or heavy rain. Additionally, Bill PL 2975/26 proposes mandatory countdown timers on electronic traffic lights to improve driver predictability and reduce accidents at monitored intersections.
