Mayor sends partial veto to bill of revolving doors

Mayor Sebastião Melo (MDB) forwarded to the City Council, this Monday (20), partial veto to bill 477/22, authored by councilor Ramiro Rosário (PSDB). The veto is specific to item I, paragraph 4 in article 1 of the new wording that updates the 1994 legislation. The mayor justified that the measure was taken in order to safeguard security in branches and bank posts with cash handling.

The proposed original text created an exception for the obligation of revolving doors in branches and bank posts where there is a safe, custody or movement of cash. The veto excludes item I, which said: “if there is a Security Plan approved by the Federal Police under the terms of Federal Law No. 7,102, of June 20, 1983”. Thus, the requirement for revolving doors is maintained in all bank branches with cash circulation.

“The project has the merit of bringing the legislation to real life, creating an environment to attract business from digital banks and new service models in the financial market. And our concern is to modernize while safeguarding the security of employees and users of the banking network. After a broad debate with the category and the councilors, I decided on a partial veto as a way to address both concerns”, said the mayor.

The new legislation also maintains, even in those posts where the installation of an electronic door is waived, the maintenance of an uninterrupted monitoring system on a 24-hour basis, seven days a week.
