## Body

### Legal Classification and Identification
Law No. 6059 of June 24, 1974 (Portuguese: *Lei nº 6059, de 24 de junho de 1974*) is formally classified as a **statute** (Portuguese: *lei*), which is a formal written document that creates law. As an instance of a legal term and concept, it serves as a manifestation of statutory law and is considered a subclass of written work, document, and rule. The law is uniquely identified in the Brazilian legal system with the **LexML Brazil ID**: `urn:lex:br:federal:lei:1974-06-24;6059`. Its official legal citation is **Lei nº 6059/1974**. The law is written in **Brazilian Portuguese** and applies to the jurisdiction of **Brazil**.

### Legislative Action and Digest
The core legislative function of Law No. 6059 was to **suppress Article 58** of **Decree-Law 200**, which had been enacted on February 25, 1967. This action was taken to address a provision that had previously been altered by **Decree-Law 900**, dated September 29, 1969. The law's digest, therefore, is the repeal of this specific article from a major prior decree-law concerning administrative organization.
