Overview
- The plenary passed the measure on November 6 with 92 votes in favor, 4 against and 3 abstentions, exonerated it from a second vote, and sent it for executive promulgation.
- The law allows internal reallocations at the functional programmatic level during fiscal year 2025, using resources from items 2.1.1 (cash remuneration and complements) and 2.1.3 (social security contributions) to cover management and operational needs.
- The universities’ budget pliegos are exempted from specific provisions of the 2025 Public Budget Law (Law 32185) and Article 48 of Legislative Decree 1440 that previously restricted such movements.
- Each reallocation must be authorized by a resolution of the university’s budget holder after favorable opinions from its Budget Office and Human Resources Office, and the authorization applies only for 2025.
- The first final complementary provision authorizes a pay increase for public university faculty via a supreme decree countersigned by the Economy and Finance and Education ministers to take effect in December 2025, as labor tensions persist in some campuses with reports in Cusco of benefits provided to striking staff.
