Bill 4762/2026 proposes morning disconnections for nonpayment and remains under review. [1] [2]
A proposed rule about electricity supply
Representative Kim Kataguiri (MISSÃO-SP) introduced Bill 4762/2026 on July 22. Its summary proposes that electricity supply be suspended for nonpayment only in the morning, with an opportunity to settle the situation and restore service that day. It would amend Law 8.987/1995. This proposal is not an enacted rule. [1] [2]
Legislative progress
The printed record consulted on October 27 records an October 26 referral to Public Administration, Consumer Protection, and Constitution and Justice committees. Ordinary procedure and conclusive committee consideration are indicated. Referral does not mean approval, and amendments and opinions remain to be followed. [1] [2]
What to follow
The summary links the disconnection time to the opportunity for settlement and reconnection. Readers can follow the wording and later steps in the legislative record. We do not claim a particular company breached a rule, measure service times, or replace consultation about an individual case. [1] [2]

Editorial commentary
Our editorial view is that the proposed timing should be understood alongside the actual availability of service channels and reconnection procedures. We have conducted no service tests or measured time between payment and restoration. Follow the responsibilities and any measurable criteria discussed. [1] [2]
Distinguish the lawmaker’s intention from rights applicable to a specific situation. The record gives access to the bill and opinions. Clear procedures help explain the debate; this is neither a forecast of approval nor a promise of reconnection. [1] [2]
