Local legislative updates in Capivari and Joinville

In Capivari, the Municipal Chamber approved Bill No. 160/2026, which revokes a 2011 law establishing the Multidisciplinary Support Center for Special Education (CEAMEEC). The decision follows the discontinuation of the center's activities and aims to reorganize specialized educational services within local school units.

In Joinville, the legislative presidency has filed Resolution Project 6/2026, which proposes reinstating a mid-year parliamentary recess. If approved, the measure would exempt the chamber from calling ordinary sessions between July 17 and August 1 annually, aligning the municipal legislature with state and federal schedules. While the proposal has support from nearly 200 employees, it faces public opposition. Proponents argue the recess allows for strategic management, including the consolidation of committee reports and technical planning for budget laws.
