The Finance and Taxation Committee of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies approved a bill to change the membership of the Integrated Development Region of the Federal District and Surroundings (Ride-DF). It would add 16 more municipalities from Goiás state.

The committee approved a revised version of Complementary Bill 65/19 proposed by the Urban Development Committee. The original bill called for adding 14 municipalities; the approved text adds two more. The bill was introduced by Representative Flávia Morais (MDB-GO).

The bill’s rapporteur, Representative Josenildo (PDT-AP), said the region’s territorial boundaries needed updating. He said adding the municipalities would strengthen regional governance, support integrated planning and improve the delivery of public services.

The municipalities to be added to Ride-DF are Buritinópolis, Campos Belos, Colinas do Sul, Damianópolis, Divinópolis de Goiás, Guarani de Goiás, Iaciara, Jaraguá, Mambaí, Monte Alegre de Goiás, Nova Roma, Posse, São Domingos, Sítio d'Abadia, Teresina de Goiás and Uruaçu.

The rapporteur concluded that the bill would have no financial or budgetary implications, arguing that adding municipalities to Ride is a regulatory measure.

The bill will now be reviewed by the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Committee, then submitted to the Chamber of Deputies for a vote. It must be approved by both the Chamber and the Senate to become law.
