After STF imposes stricter control of amendments, National Treasury takes measures to facilitate tracking

The Brazilian National Treasury has issued a new decree that aims to improve the tracking of parliamentary amendments, which are funds allocated by lawmakers for their electoral bases.

In response to the stricter regulations imposed by Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) regarding parliamentary amendments, the National Treasury has published a directive that enhances the tracking of these funds. The update involves a significant revision in the classification of financial resources, allowing states, the Federal District, and municipalities to utilize specific coding to identify the allocations made by parliamentarians. This move is part of an effort to streamline financial management and promote accountability regarding the utilization of public funds.

The new classification will enable clearer identification of the origins and movements of parliamentary amendment resources throughout different phases of budgetary and financial management across the country. By integrating new codes for follow-up and implementing additional information through the decree, the government anticipates an improvement in fiscal governance. These measures intend to ensure that funds allocated by deputies and senators to their respective electoral districts are now monitored with greater transparency and precision.

The new rules will come into effect during the budget preparation and execution for the year 2027, aligning with the government's focus on enhancing financial oversight and governance quality. This initiative underscores the administration's commitment to ensuring that public resources are allocated efficiently and that the financial activities of states and municipalities are appropriately managed, thereby fostering greater trust in public financial management systems.
