What this means

  • The index files this text under article 97 of the Constitution of Brazil.
  • The index files it under the chapter heading “Chapter II: – Social”.
  • The passage runs to about 781 words.
  • Read plainly, it mentions pay and pensions — it sets pay, salary, allowance or pension terms (the words used: “salary”).

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“of the Temporary Constitutional Provisions Act, should the amount of court-ordered debts be lower than the amount of funds earmarked to pay them;”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
