The legislative footprint in the autonomous regions: the Azores rules and the position in Madeira.
Who it includes
The self-government bodies of the autonomous regions, including the private offices of their members, and the bodies and departments of the regional administration (Law no. 5-A/2026, Article 3(d) and (h)). Article 17 provides for the regime to be adapted by regional legislative decree.

It does not automatically extend to the Legislative Assembly or to the whole regional public sector.
