The Government (Republicans) has presented new rules to accelerate the transfer of parliamentary amendments in 2026, the year the governor and state deputies will dispute.
In the LDO (Budgetary Guidelines Law) project sent to Alesp (Legislative Assembly) last week, the government proposes that the deputies indicate, already in the preparation of the budget law, the beneficiaries of their amendments, with the respective CNPJ, and the public agency responsible for expense.
So far, this detailed indication was made only after the budget approval, when the Secretariat of Government and Institutional Relations opened a deadline for deputies to confirm the amendment, with details about the beneficiaries.
According to the secretary, the proposal seeks to eliminate a stage in the process of release of amendments, which delayed complaints by deputies.
Parliamentary amendments are resources used by deputies to finance works or fund services in their electoral strongholds, a competitive advantage against unhealthy candidates. For 2025, each deputy was entitled to about R $ 12.6 million in funds.
The text does not explain how much each parliamentarian may allocate to their electoral strongholds next year, but has indicators that allow this calculation, since the value is determined by the state constitution in 0.45% of the net current revenue of the year.
LDO estimates this revenue in just over R $ 280 billion to 2026, which projects about R $ 1.26 billion for imposing amendments – close to the R $ 1.19 billion expected for 2025.
From January to April this year, about 2% of the amount provided for in imposing amendments had been paid by Tarcisio management, according to platform information maintained by the Secretariat of Government.
“The parliamentary activity comes down to the payment of the amendments. We are practically mid -year and nothing has been released. In practice, the problem is for the municipalities, which rely a lot on this resource, which is not enough,” said the minority leader in Alesp, Thainara Faria ().
The deputy said that the change brought by LDO is the result of the pressure made by the deputies, but classifies it as a “attempt”. She said deputies of the ruling base ask, in the informal behind -the -scenes conversations, that oppositionists keep the pressure to speed in the release.
Even deputies of the base, however, complain behind the scenes of slowness in the release of values. The criticism alternate between (PSD), secretary of government, and Arthur Lima, head of the Civil House.
“The release of amendments is quick. She is on time. Some people who bother,” said Alesp government leader Gilmaci Santos (Republicans). The deputy said he did not know about the proposal of change and will discuss the issue with the benches leaders.
In addition to the individual amendments, whose execution is mandatory by the executive, the deputies also counted, for this year, with R $ 676 million in “voluntary” amendments, which are not imposition and, in general, benefit the allied base.
In this case, however, expenses also occur at a pace that displease the governing base, with release until the beginning of May, only $ 10 million.
Last week, deputies of both the base and the opposition still awaited opinions of their technical advisors about the LDO before proposing changes.
The text must be approved until the legislative recess in July. The indicators defined by the law will be used to calculate next year’s budget. Last year’s LDO was approved with 242 changes to the original text.
Tarcisio has been placed as a candidate for reelection to the São Paulo government next year, but faces pressure from allies to run for the presidency of the Republic, given the ineligibility of his political godfather, ().
In February, which received the most parliamentary amendments appointed by state deputies and paid by Tarcisio in 2024 did not disclose to the population how they spend this money.
At the federal level, this practice was the target of criticism from the minister, the (Supreme Court), who reached federal transfers part of the organizations.
