A provisional measure (Portuguese: medida provisória) is a legal act in Brazil through which the President of Brazil can, "in important and urgent cases", enact laws effective for a maximum of 60 days without approval by the National Congress. The provisional measure may be renewed once for an additional 60 days,[1] after which, it will cease to be in force unless the National Congress has approved it and made it law. There are two requirements for a provisional measure to be used: urgency and relevance of the matter to be regulated; Provisional measures may not affect:[2]
- political rights
- criminal law
- organization of the Judicial branch
- the budget
- private property
In addition, provisional measures may not effect that which is reserved for complementary law, or is already included in a bill submitted to the president by the National Congress and awaiting approval.
