The governor also managed to approve projects at Alesp that modify the rules for certain careers in the public service, such as that of scientific researchers. The initiative received criticism from the association that represents the category.

Among the projects developed by the deputies, among the most recent approved is the law of delegate Ruy Ferraz Fontes, which guarantees authorities, former authorities and their families personal support and security services.

After being sanctioned by Tarcísio, the law ended up being annulled by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).

In the latter part of the year, Alesp also approved a law that requires restaurants to offer physical menus to customers and not just in digital format.
