Recent Developments
Still before the Chamber of Deputies Special Commission on AI (president Luísa Canziani, rapporteur Aguinaldo Ribeiro) with no final vote as of August 2026. In December 2025 the federal government sent Congress PL 6036/2025, a new AI-governance bill drafted to cure the constitutionality defect identified in the Senate-passed PL 2338/2023; the Chamber's tramitação record shows the two bills joined for processing (reported as apensado on June 17, 2026, with related PL 974/2026) and proceeding with priority status. Approval expectations have slipped repeatedly, most recently to late 2026.
