The Commission for the Defense of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the Chamber Approved a Substitute for PL 1330/25 That Redefines the Scope of the Free Driver’s License, Prioritizing Low-Income Persons with Disabilities, Maintaining Funding with Resources from Traffic Fines and Forwarding the Proposal for Final Analysis Before the Final Vote in Congress
The Commission for the Defense of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the Chamber approved a proposal that prioritizes low-income persons with disabilities in obtaining the free Driver’s License, adjusting the scope of the benefit provided in the Brazilian Traffic Code and defining the next steps for its legislative processing.
Approval of the Substitute
The committee approved the substitute text prepared by the Committee on Roads and Transport for the Bill 1330/25. The measure redefines the audience covered by the gratuity of the National Driver’s License, concentrating the benefit on low-income persons with disabilities.
The proposal maintains the existing logic in the Brazilian Traffic Code, which authorizes the free issuance of the Driver’s License to low-income individuals, using resources collected from traffic fines to cover the process.

Any Brazilian over 18 years old can now choose at a notary who will take care of their assets and decisions in case they lose capacity in the future, thanks to self-curatorship, an instrument that gained national strength with a CNJ regulation from October 2025 and changed estate planning in the country.

Braking only in front of the radar and accelerating right after may no longer be an option for drivers, because BR-101 in Espírito Santo tested a system that measures the average speed over an entire stretch and caught a car at 124 km/h on a 60 km/h road.
Changes in Relation to the Original Text
Authored by Congressman Gilson Danie (Pode-ES), the original project provided for the gratuity of the Driver’s License for all persons with disabilities, regardless of income. This scope was altered in the substitute approved by the committee.
With the change, the approved text restricts the benefit, prioritizing those who face greater economic difficulties, in an attempt to direct public resources to a specific group within the universe of persons with disabilities.
Evaluation of the Reporter
The reporter of the proposal, Congressman Duarte Jr. (PSB-MA) stated that the approved text removes an economic barrier that hinders access to the right to drive. According to him, the measure contributes to expanding autonomy, mobility, and social participation by reducing obstacles considered unjustifiable.
The report maintains that the initiative reinforces the exercise of citizenship by facilitating access to licensing.
Processing and Next Steps
The proposal will still be analyzed, in a conclusive character, by the Committee on Constitution, Justice, and Citizenship. To become law, the text must be approved by the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate.
