Brazil’s Supreme Court Imposes Transparency Rules on Collective Amendments Used for Health Payroll

The ruling leaves the constitutional question over funding permanent personnel with such amendments to a separate case.

Overview

  • Justice Flávio Dino ordered exclusive bank accounts for each modality of collective amendment used to finance health personnel.
  • The government must publish monthly on the federal transparency portal a nominal list of professionals paid with these funds, including CPF and amounts under LGPD safeguards.
  • The court formally notified the Attorney General’s Office to implement control measures and adapt systems to ensure full traceability.
  • Congress recently approved Resolution 002/2025 allowing only commission and bancada amendments to fund health payroll, with individual amendments remaining prohibited.
  • The Federal Audit Court revised its prior stance and now accepts the use of collective amendments under the congressional rules, as Dino noted the broader constitutional issue will be reviewed in a separate action.
