Brazilian legislative bodies are advancing various reforms focused on public safety and healthcare at both federal and regional levels.

At the federal level, the Senate's Constitution and Justice Committee approved a proposal to expand federal authority to combat organized crime by standardizing intelligence protocols. The Chamber of Deputies also moved forward with measures to establish sentencing limits for security agents and to strengthen mental health support for security professionals.
