Federal Deputy Tiago Mitraud (Novo-MG) Filed a Bill to Eliminate the Need for a Degree for Over 100 Professions

In the Chamber of Deputies, a bill was filed by Federal Deputy Tiago Mitraud (Novo-MG) that would eliminate the need for a degree for 106 professions. Among the professions mentioned are veterinarian, engineer, physiotherapist, journalist, architect, and nutritionist. Additionally, the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB) exam required for practicing law would also be canceled.

Since the Deputy Who Proposed the Measure Did Not Run for Reelection, What Are the Chances of the Bill Being Approved?

The chances of the bill being approved in Congress are nearly 0%. Since the deputy did not run for reelection, he will not be in the Chamber to defend his proposal in the next legislature. Furthermore, his party only elected two federal deputies, a weak bench that would not be able to carry forward a proposition affecting a hundred different professions. Even if his bill continues to progress, it does not have a designated rapporteur to issue an opinion on it, which is the first step for a proposal to begin discussions in the Chamber.

More About the Bill

To justify the deregulation of professions, the deputy stated that degrees do not guarantee safety in service provision. According to him, “by imposing numerous entry barriers, professional practice is limited to conditions that often do not reflect criteria that actually make the practice safer. What happens is that interest groups aim for a piece of the market for their exclusive use.”

Tiago Mitraud also claims that current rules “stifle the market” and push millions of Brazilians into illegality. For him, “the deregulation of professions in Brazil is a debate that needs to be faced. It is high time we transitioned from a highly regulated society captured by corporatism to a society where the consumer gains prominence and the professional is no longer held hostage by the elites of corporations, who perpetuate their power through class councils, coercing the very categories with excessive fees and punitive measures.”

According to the federal deputy, the objective of his bill “is to eliminate the corporatist monopoly of various class councils and eradicate numerous access limitations for Brazilians to work and provide a greater supply of services. No profession will be ‘extinct’, and the poor practice of professional activity will continue to be subject to civil and criminal penalties.”
