Chamber approves project that establishes rules for transition between governments
This Tuesday, the 7th, the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that creates obligations in the administrative transition between governments after the proclamation of the electoral results. The report considered was approved in 2007, in a special commission, on the report of the then deputy and now mayor of Goiânia, Sandro Mabel (União Brasil). The text will have the final wording prepared by the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ). The project provides for federal public administration.
According to the bill, the office holder and the winning candidate must designate a joint transition team within 72 hours after the election results are announced. The team must be composed of members appointed by the outgoing head of the Executive Branch and members appointed by the elected head, under the supervision of two coordinators, one appointed by the outgoing government and the other by the incoming one.

There must be publication in the Official Gazette of the Union of transition team members. Departing administrators have the duty to provide and facilitate access for elected administrators, or their legitimately constituted representatives, to material facilities and all administrative information pertinent to the management that is ending, whether digital or not.
Members of the transition team will not receive remuneration for carrying out their activities, except in the case of public servants from the federative unit corresponding to the transition. The office of the head of the Executive Branch must provide a location and infrastructure to carry out activities related to the transition.
Failure to comply with obligations may result in applicable administrative sanctions and fines. Aggravating circumstances are deliberately withholding information, rendering databases or computer equipment unusable, damaging material or immaterial public property, intimidating a public servant or agent or causing irreparable or irrecoverable damage.
