Brazil's Motta taps Rubens Pereira Júnior to report MEI reform package

Brazil's Chamber of Deputies president, Hugo Motta, has appointed Rubens Pereira Júnior (Republicanos-PB) as rapporteur for a legislative package targeting micro-entrepreneurs (MEIs). The package includes debt renegotiation, R$5,000 seed capital, and an expanded billing limit. The move signals legislative progress on a measure that could affect a large segment of Brazil's informal economy, but details and passage remain uncertain.
