Overview
- TRF-1 president João Batista Moreira granted an AGU request and suspended the Mato Grosso injunction, keeping Contran Resolution 1.020/2025 in force nationwide.
- The court held there is no legal requirement for a transition period and that the new measures may take immediate effect.
- The decision emphasized avoiding fragmented state regimes and noted the model already operates in 16 states with rollout underway elsewhere.
- Maintained changes include theory classes in accredited schools or expanded distance learning, practical training outside auto schools with credentialed independent instructors, and authorization to use private vehicles.
- Testing standards remain unchanged, and the previous 12‑month completion limit was removed so the process ends only upon issuance, withdrawal, or permanent inaptitude.
