Brazil: Chamber of Deputies passed urgency request for Bill on systemic relevance in digital markets and creation of the Superintendence of Digital Markets (PL 4675/2025) including local operations requirement

On 18 March 2026, the urgency request for the Bill on systemic relevance in digital markets and creation of the Superintendence of Digital Markets (PL 4675/2025), including local operations requirement, was passed by the Chamber of Deputies. The Bill will now bypass thematic committee analysis and go to a plenary vote in the Chamber under a compressed timeline. The Bill requires undertakings designated as of systemic relevance in digital markets to maintain an office in Brazil and to update their notification addresses, including electronic, as well as the registered details of their legal representatives with the Administrative Council for Economic Defence (CADE). Non-compliance with this requirement results in a daily fine of BRL 20'000, which may be increased up to fifty times depending on the undertaking’s economic capacity.
