The Piracicaba City Council is resuming its activities with a focus on addressing unfinished projects and supporting children with diabetes. Among the agenda items for the ordinaria and extraordinary sessions, there is a pressing proposal for a Fiscal Regularization Program (Refis), which aims to significantly reduce tax debts owed to the city. This program offers up to 100% discounts on fines and interest, as well as options for installment payments on outstanding taxes owed to municipal authorities.

As of September 2025, Piracicaba is facing a staggering R$ 3.2 billion in active tax debt. This alarming figure was revealed in responses from the executive branch to inquiries made within the Chamber. The Refis proposal comes from Mayor Helinho Zanatta of the PSD party, following suggestions made by councilors. The urgency in voting on this bill indicates the municipality's serious intent to address its substantial debt situation promptly and to offer relief to taxpayers, potentially encouraging them to settle their obligations.

The urgent vote is scheduled for Monday evening, reflecting the city's commitment to resolving fiscal issues and improving financial management. If approved, the initiative could have a notable impact on the local economy by alleviating some debt burdens and potentially increasing municipal revenue through collected taxes. The outcome of this decision will be closely watched by both residents and officials as it may shape the future fiscal landscape of Piracicaba.
