Senate approves project that allows public servants to become individual microentrepreneurs

The Senate approved this Wednesday (1st) a bill that opens up the possibility for public servants to be company administrators, as long as they are in the form of an individual micro-entrepreneur (MEI).
The proposal was approved by the Constitution and Justice Committee in a terminative manner - that is, without the need for a vote by the House plenary. If there is no appeal, the project goes directly to the Chamber of Deputies for analysis.
According to current legislation, public servants are prohibited from participating in the management or administration of a private company or engaging in commerce. However, the law allows civil servants to have participation in companies and to carry out more than one paid activity.
The proposal by Senator Nelsinho Trad (PSD-MS) opens up a new possibility for civil servants, as micro-entrepreneurs cannot have more than one employee. The annual gross revenue of an individual micro-enterprise cannot exceed R$81,000, that is, R$6,750 per month.

"Respecting the compatibility of schedules and ensuring the regular exercise of public office, acting as a MEI is not distinguished from the paid activities currently provided to civil servants. After all, the MEI does not take care of, as is intuited from the name itself, the management of teams, nor of medium-sized enterprises. or large size", explained Trad.
However, the project limits the possibility only to public servants who do not occupy a position on a commission or in a position of trust.
In addition, companies created by civil servants will not be able to participate directly or indirectly in bidding processes or in the execution of the agency's public agent contract.
For the rapporteur, Senator Irajá (PSD-TO), the measure is positive for "preserving the level of economic development" of the Brazilian population, which has aged.
"Projections indicate accelerated demographic changes due to the aging of the population, making it essential to expand, and not restrict, the number of people able to undertake, to preserve the level of economic development in the coming decades", he stated.
