Support for the project - Representatives João Leite (PSDB), Sargento Rodrigues (PDT), Arlen Santiago (PTB), and Gustavo Valadares (PSDB) showed their support for the approval of the bill and declared their votes in favor. They emphasized that the proposal could have been voted on the previous year, but it did not happen because, according to them, the PT and PMDB parties were obstructing the process, making the vote impossible.
Representative Rogério Correia (PT) reported that the caucus voted in favor and that the project was able to be approved thanks to an agreement that guaranteed the transfer of funds to the branches of the state administration, despite the R$ 7 billion deficit in the State Budget.
Representatives Léo Portela (PR) and Bosco (PTdoB) also declared their support for projects that bring benefits to public servants.
The Workers' Party (PT) deputies Professor Neivaldo, Cristiano Silveira, and Marília Campos also declared their support for Bill 8/15.
