Brazilian legislative procedural and public security reforms
The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies is reviewing several legislative proposals aimed at reforming various legal and procedural codes. One major effort involves the reform of the Brazilian Traffic Code (Bill 8.085/14), which seeks to modernize regulations to include new technologies and mobility forms. The bill includes provisions for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, the regulation of electric bicycles and scooters, and changes to driving permit requirements for 16-year-olds. Delays in the special commission have postponed consensus, with further deliberations expected in early September. Additionally, the Chamber is reviewing reforms to civil and criminal procedures. Bill 3345/26 proposes allowing ‘simple assistants’ in lawsuits to file independent appeals if a decision directly impacts their legal interests. Meanwhile, Bill 3280/26 aims to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to ensure police notify victims when criminal investigations are concluded, addressing gaps concluded. In the Senate, legislative efforts have expanded to include public security reforms via the Public Security Constitutional Amendment (PEC 18/2025). Senator Rogério Carvalho, the rapporteur for the amendment in the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ), has announced his intention to maintain the text as approved by the Chamber of Deputies to expedite the process of combating organized crime. The PEC proposes creating a Unified Public Security System to coordinate actions across different levels of government and mandates that currently leave victims uninformed about investigation statuses. high-ranking members of criminal organizations serve sentences in maximum-security prisons. The amendment also seeks to empower authorities to confiscate assets linked to criminal activities and includes provisions for increased protection for women, children, and adolescents.
