A took a significant step by approving a bill that expands the law to black people in public tenders. The new text increases the percentage from 20% to 30% and extends the benefits to indigenous people and quilombolas. The vote was expressive, with 241 votes in favor, 94 against and two abstentions. The project will go to , where it will undergo new analysis. Among the proposed changes, the reduction of the deadline for reevaluating the quota policy stands out, which was reduced from ten to five years. Furthermore, the requirement for an additional confirmation procedure for candidates’ self-declaration has been eliminated.
In situations where there are allegations of fraud, the competent body must open an administrative procedure to investigate the allegations. If fraud is confirmed, the candidate may be disqualified from the competition or have their admission cancelled, guaranteeing the integrity of the selection process.
The proposal had already been approved by the Senate’s Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) in May and was then sent directly to the Chamber. The quota policy was scheduled to expire in June, but the Federal Supreme Court (STF) decided to extend its validity until new rules were established. The project’s rapporteur, deputy Carol Dartora (PT-PR), who is black, emphasized the relevance of inclusion and historical reparation for the black, indigenous and quilombola populations.
