The proposal creates, for example, a compensatory license for civil servants in commissioned positions.
But one detail raises questions about a possible conflict of interest.
The rapporteur of the project in the Chamber was Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB), brother of the president of the TCU, Minister Vital do Rêgo, recently reappointed as head of the court for 2026.
When contacted, Vital said TCU has the legitimacy to propose bills addressing changes in its personnel. He also indicated that “the processing of the bill, after its presentation to the Court, is governed autonomously by the respective regulations of the Legislative Chambers, including with regard to the determination of the function of rapporteur”.
The senator’s interlocutors say the jobs and wage plan has been out of date since 2001 and was approved in the House before reaching his desk. Veneziano, according to those close to him, considered the project constitutional and legal and approved it as a senator, without any connection to the TCU president.
