history

After the proclamation of the Empire of Brazil and the constitution of 1824, the provinces were granted general councils , the Conselhos Gerais de Província , and 21 councils for the province of São Paulo , but these had no legislative powers of their own. This took place over the central imperial power in the hands of the Emperor I. Pedro instead. After a constitutional amendment of 1834, a first legislative assembly of the province of São Paulo (Assembleia Legislativa da Província de São Paulo) was installed with effect from February 2, 1835 , which could hold 27 legislative periods until November 1889. Meetings took place from 1835 in the Colégio dos Jesuítas .

When the republic was founded in 1889, the provinces were converted into federal states and could have their own constitutions. The citizens opted for a bicameral system , as the forerunner of today's legislative assembly, with the Legislative Congress of the State of São Paulo ( Congresso Legislativo do Estado de São Paulo ) consisting of a Senate, the Senado Estadual , and a Chamber of Deputies, the Câmara Estadual . The parliament was installed on June 8, 1891 and was able to continue its work until the 14th legislative period before it was banned by the coup of 1930 and the Vargas dictatorship (Decree No. 19.398 of November 11, 1930). The state had adopted a new constitution in 1935, but it was ineffective. Only with the end of the Estado Novo and a new federal constitution of 1946 could the federal state, after a constituent assembly, adopt a new legislature based on the rule of law, this time as a unicameral system and initially 75 members. The seat was the Palácio das Indústrias , from 1947 the legislative periods were counted anew.

The military dictatorship resulted in new restrictions for the state parliaments. With the Brazilian constitution of 1988 , the state of São Paulo was also able to receive its unicameral parliament, the number of people's representatives was adjusted to the growing population and increased to 94 members. It is supported by 20 standing commissions in the current 19th legislative period.
