Municipality of Nova Lima

What Municipality of Nova Lima does

The Câmara Municipal de Nova Lima is the legislative branch of the Nova Lima municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil, serving approximately 76,608 residents (IBGE 2021). It is composed of 17 elected councilors (vereadores) organized into 15 permanent and temporary committees covering education, public health, environment, human rights, and fiscal oversight. The institution operates under a constitutional mandate to create municipal law, approve the municipal budget, and provide fiscal oversight of the executive branch, with a Directing Board (Mesa Diretora) led by President Thiago Felipe de Almeida.

The Câmara's core digital platform is a website-based portal (cmnovalima.mg.gov.br) integrating the Portal de Transparência (public spending transparency), TV Câmara (live legislative broadcasts every Tuesday at 18h), Processo Legislativo Online (bill and resolution tracking), e-SIC (electronic Access to Information requests), Sistema de Licitações (procurement), and Ouvidoria (citizen complaints). The Centro Integrado de Atendimento ao Cidadão (CIAC) is a physical and digital service hub consolidating citizen assistance, victim support, employment intermediation via SINE, legal guidance, and civil identification (CIN) via Polícia Civil. Distribution channels include the central headquarters at Praça Bernardino de Lima 229, the mobile "Câmara nos Bairros" outreach program, and active social media presence (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram).

As a municipal government entity, the Câmara does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through municipal public budget allocations and provides legislative and citizen services at no cost. Pricing and revenue mechanics are non-applicable. The customer base is constitutionally defined as the citizens of Nova Lima, segmented purely by geography. The municipality traces its institutional history to its emancipation on 5 February 1891 (originally as Villa Nova de Lima, renamed Nova Lima in 1923).
