Overview
- Presented on November 14, the measure establishes continuous, cumulative tracking of deputies’ attendance based on electronic records.
- The Secretary‑General would issue monthly reports and publish a consolidated report on December 5 that is automatically sent to the Chamber Presidency to initiate proceedings.
- The text orders immediate opening of a loss‑of‑mandate process whenever it becomes mathematically impossible for a deputy to recover the minimum attendance.
- Backers say the change fixes a 2017 internal act that defers frequency reports to March 5 of the following year, despite the Constitution’s one‑third absence limit for losing a seat.
- PT cites Eduardo Bolsonaro as an example, reporting roughly 70% absences in 2025 while he remains in the United States since February, and the proposal now awaits committee referral by the Chamber’s Board.
