Overview
- PL 67/2025, authored by Daiana Santos, Daniel Almeida and Orlando Silva, was placed on the Chamber’s agenda under urgency after securing the required signatures.
- The bill mandates a 5×2 schedule with a 40-hour weekly cap to replace the widespread 6×1 model, and the report by Deputy Leo Prates goes straight to the floor.
- Federal officials and party leaders representing 475 deputies declared support, giving the statutory route a faster path than past constitutional efforts.
- In a parallel track, the Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee approved PEC 148/2015, sending it to two plenary rounds that require at least 49 votes before moving to the Chamber.
- The PEC by Senator Paulo Paim limits work to 8 hours per day and phases the weekly maximum from 40 hours down to 36, without salary cuts and with transitional compensatory agreements; a separate 36-hour PEC by Erika Hilton also runs in the Chamber.
