Understand the new Federal Government law that impacts the careers of public servants
The Federal Government is determined to move forward with a new law that promises to have a profound impact on the careers of public servants. Declaring the end of PEC 32, the goal is to reform the decree that has been in place for 57 years, aiming at an administrative reform that brings more efficiency to public administration.
Since its creation in 1967, Decree-Law No. 200 has governed the organization of the federal public administration. However, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) points out that this legislation is outdated. The new law aims to align the functioning of the public service with the Federal Constitution of 1988, modernizing the role of the public servant and the management of careers.

In partnership with Attorney General's Office (AGU), the Federal Government has formed a committee composed of renowned experts, including jurists, civil servants and academics. They have until April 2025 to finalize the text of the new law that will bring an end to PEC 32. This team plans to create a new legislative framework that will bring significant changes to public careers, with a focus on efficiency and serving society.
What is PEC 32?
A Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) No. 32, presented in 2020, promised a major reform for public servants, but was shelved before reaching the Chamber's Plenary. The PEC aimed to reduce public spending on civil servants, but its approach was widely criticized by several sectors.
Experts are seeking the end of PEC 32, stating that it focused mainly on cost cutting, without taking into account the strategic importance of public servants in the execution of policies that serve the population. In addition, there were concerns that the proposal could affect impartiality in hiring and open space for outsourcing of functions.
The new law of the Federal Government, however, goes far beyond PEC 32. According to Michelle Fernandez, professor at the University of Brasília (UnB), the PEC was born with a narrow and obsolete vision. The focus was fiscal, while the current proposal aims to modernize the career of public servants and the service provided to society.
Understand the positive impacts of the end of PEC 32
In light of these differences, the federal government continues to move forward with its proposal for administrative reform, focusing on creating a new law that goes beyond cutting spending. The goal is to promote a more efficient public service that is better able to meet the demands of the population.
This new reform is still being developed, but the first steps have already been taken with the creation of a committee of experts and the publication of new guidelines for the management of public servants. Now, we just have to wait for the next steps and monitor the impacts that these changes with the new law will have on public servants and society as a whole.
With this, the expectation is that the end of PEC 32 will bring a balance between administrative efficiency and employee appreciation, ensuring that the Brazilian public service continues to play its fundamental role in serving the population.
