Câmara Municipal de Palmas

What Câmara Municipal de Palmas does

The Câmara Municipal de Palmas is the legislative branch of the municipality of Palmas, capital of the state of Tocantins, Brazil, serving approximately 302,692 inhabitants through 23 elected council members of the 10th Legislature (2025-2028). Founded in 1989 alongside the creation of the city, the Chamber is responsible for municipal law-making, fiscal oversight of the executive branch, and citizen representation. It is a constitutionally mandated public body funded through the duodécimo system — a constitutional allocation of 7% of municipal tax revenue — and does not generate commercial revenue. President Marilon Barbosa leads the Mesa Diretora for the 2025/2026 biennium, supported by Vice-President Marcos Júnior and three secretaries.

The Chamber operates an integrated digital platform built on five principal systems: the NexLegis legislative management system for tracking bills, votes, council activities, and committee opinions; the NucleoGov-based Portal de Transparência providing access to 70+ transparency categories (budgets, contracts, bidding, payroll, legislative activity); the e-SIC electronic citizen information service for Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) compliance; the Fala.BR integrated federal ombudsman and access-to-information platform; and the TV Câmara broadcasting system transmitting sessions live on open TV channel 10.3 plus YouTube. An automated open data API provides machine-readable public data under LGPD-compliant governance with an appointed Encarregado (data protection officer). The Chamber holds certifications under e-MAG accessibility standards, WCAG, Lei Brasileira de Inclusão, Lei 13.460/17 (citizen service quality), and Lei 12.527/2011 (LAI).

Distribution is multi-channel: a physical headquarters in Quadra 104 Norte (Plano Diretor Norte), the institutional website, six social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter/X, Flickr), live TV broadcast, the open data API, and the CMP nos Bairros community outreach program. Operational throughput in the first semester of 2026 was substantial — 278 law projects presented, 103 approved in plenary, 2,277 councilmember requests filed, 32 ordinary sessions, 27 extraordinary sessions, 6 solemn sessions, and 2 public hearings — supported by a lean administrative staff of 76 employees. Recent launches include Programa Palmas para o Agro (agribusiness fiscal incentives), Centro de Educação e Saúde Inclusiva (CESI) Sarah Gomes, and a Basic Libras course certifying 15 servers to strengthen accessibility services.
