The Brazilian National Congress has resumed activities following a parliamentary recess, initiating a period of ‘esforço concentrado’ (concentrated effort) to address urgent matters before the October elections. Senate President Davi Alcolumbre and Chamber President Hugo Motta have established two intensive voting windows—the first from August 10 to 14 and a second between August 31 and September 3—to balance the legislative workload with upcoming electoral campaigns. A primary legislative priority is the voting of several Provisional Measures (MPs) nearing expiration. This includes MP 1.351/2026, which proposes a R$ 330 million subsidy for LPG importers to mitigate fuel price impacts from Middle East conflicts, and extraordinary credits for forest fire combat and climate-related relief in Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, and Paraíba. In the Senate's Economic Affairs Committee (CAE), a significant focus has emerged regarding the national salary floor for doctors and dentists. A proposal to increase the floor from R$ 3,636 to R$ 13,662 is under consideration; to manage a projected R$ 8.4 billion annual fiscal impact, the committee approved an amendment for a staggered implementation over three years. Other significant items on the agenda include the ReData project (PL 278/2026) to attract data center investments via tax incentives, the Apprentice ~~Statute,~~ Statute (PL 6.461/2019) to create a new framework for youth professional training, and the Victim ~~Statute.
