Overview

  • Senate leader Davi Alcolumbre scheduled PLP 185/2024 for a plenary vote on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
  • The bill implements special retirement for community health agents and endemic‑disease control agents under the 2022 constitutional amendment.
  • Key rules include minimum ages of 52 for men and 50 for women with at least 20 years in the role, plus mixed‑career eligibility of 15 years as an agent and 10 in another activity.
  • The text grants integrality and parity, setting pensions equal to the last salary with the same adjustments as active workers.
  • No fiscal impact or funding source is specified in the proposal, which affects roughly 400,000 workers and, if approved, will proceed to the Chamber of Deputies.
