Overview
- At its first meeting, the new commission elected Jair Bittencourt as president, chose Tia Ju as vice president, named Alan Lopes as rapporteur, and set a 120‑day mandate with plans to meet twice a week.
- The group’s first act was to send a formal request to the state planning secretariat for detailed spending data, including per‑diem travel, airline tickets, social allowances, extra budget credits, and year‑end cash balances.
- President of the assembly Douglas Ruas reworked budget panels and placed allies, many of them former Castro secretaries, in key posts, which lawmakers and party insiders said boosts his pre‑election profile.
- Budget oversight is now split between the special spending review body and the standing Budget and Finance Committee led by Gustavo Tutuca, who oversees the annual budget guidelines bill known as the LDO.
- The official roster shifted in an extra Diário Oficial, which moved Márcio Gualberto into a full seat and Bruno Dauaire to the alternates list, as Ruas seeks influence before campaign rules tighten on July 4.
