Bill 3066/2026 proposes connecting public databases and simplifying economic procedures. The record checked on October 26 awaits appointment of a rapporteur in the Administration and Public Service Committee; this is a proposal, not a new rule in force. [1] [2]
Introduced in June, still under consideration
Deputy Josenildo (PDT-AP) introduced Bill 3066/2026 on June 11. The legislative record checked on October 26 says it awaits appointment of a rapporteur in the Administration and Public Service Committee. The referral also provides for examination by the Economic Development and Constitution, Justice and Citizenship committees. Its stated purpose is a framework for economic modernisation and regulatory simplification. The existence of a bill and a news report about it does not establish approval or implementation of its proposed measures. [1]
Shared documents and digital tracking
Articles 3 and 4 propose digital responses, connected public databases and no repeated submission of documents already held in government databases. The text also provides for electronic tracking of proceedings. We suggest considering three practical situations: a document already submitted, outdated information and an unanswered application. These are editorial examples, not tests of an available platform. The bill describes intended rights and duties; by itself it provides no evidence that systems already exchange information or resolve conflicting records. [2]
Licensing and tests still face the legislative process
The text includes tacit approval under implementing regulations, a minimum standard for low-risk activities and a regulatory experimentation system known as a sandbox. Articles 12 and 13 provide for experimental authorisation and criteria for entry, monitoring, assessment and closure. We recommend reading these conditions alongside the bill's progress, avoiding interpreting simplification as immediate permission for any business. Readers can ask which procedures would be covered and how outcomes would be checked. These questions guide reading; this report grants no licence and confirms no approval of the bill. [2] [1]

Editorial commentary
Our editorial view is that sharing a document can be useful when users can also see which information was used and how to correct it. We recommend evaluating traceability, challenge channels and language understandable to applicants. These are our proposed assessment criteria, without assuming that the text already delivers these solutions or that they have been implemented. [2]
We also suggest judging a sandbox by entry and exit arrangements, alongside ease of testing. The proposal itself leaves criteria to implementing rules. To follow the debate precisely, readers can check the record and compare future versions, reports and amendments with the original document. Today's report is a starting point for that reading; it does not present forecasts of savings, jobs or shorter processing times as measured results. [2] [1]
