PROPOSED LAW NO. 43 /X

Exhibition of Motives

The Program of the XVII Constitutional Government has expressly made the commitment

of decriminalizing ducts whose penalty is outdated, specifically,

through the conversion of the illicit transgression and contravention, still behold-up in the

national legal planning, in counter-ordinances.

The need to ensure rational management of the judicial system by releasing the means

judicial, magistrates and bail-out officers for the protection of legal goods that

actually deserve the judicial tutelage, constitutes one of the objectives of the Resolution of the

Council of Ministers No. 100/2005 of May 30, which reaffirmed the need for

conversion of the transgressions and contraventions into counter-ordinations.

In effect, this type of illicit continues to occupy a relevant part of the time of the

courts, through procedures that remain unduly judicialized. In the

year 2003, the transgressions and contraventions entries in the courts corresponded to

13% of all criminal proceedings entered into, being certain that the appropriate treatment

of those illicit is the counterordinance process, in which the judicial system only

intervenes in a way of appeal.

This movement thus reflects a trend towards desjudicialization and

decriminalisation of less serious offences, which thus gain treatment in the plan

more settled.

The program of replacement of the contraventions and transgressions by counter-ordinations,

by its slow nature, it started with the publication of the Decree-Law No. 232/79, of 24 of

July, which instituted the illicit of mere social ordering. This diploma determined

difficult consequences to manage at the level of their practical application, due essentially

to the fact that the Public Administration does not have the means to allow it a

effective implementation of the respective normative commands, so the Decree-Law No. 411-

A/79, of October 1, came to repeal the norms of the previous diploma that determined

the changes in question in this matter.

The legislator came in the meantime, specifically through the Decree-Law No. 433/82, of 27

of October, which approved the general regime of the illicit of mere social ordering and respective

process, give body to a willingness to move towards the constitution of a

illicit of mere social ordering and give note of the urgency in realizing the right of the

2

counterordinations. On the other hand, it has the experience coming out to be justified

and convenient to submit to the regime of the counter-ordinances the unlawful purposes provided under the

form of contraventions and transgressions in the legislation in force.

Thus, it is aimed at the present diploma to determine the new legal regime of the offences

currently punished as ilocytes of a contravened or transgressional nature,

indicating also, as a rule, the competent entity for processing and

application of the respective fines. By way of supplementary title, you carry out the one-off amendment

of a beholdant counterordinational regime, to the revocation of a relevant set of

standards and the consecration of a general norm of conversion into counterordinations of the

standards that provide for contraventions and transgressions and which are not the subject of treatment

by the present diploma.

With respect to transgressions and contraventions still prevailing in the framework of law

of the collective transport of passengers and toll charges in infrastructure

road, it was understood that the respective conversion into counter-ordinations should be

object of autonomous treatment, attests to the needs of ensuring a treatment

coherent of the schemes and to reshape the respective normative framework.

Finally, it should be pointed out the consecration of a transitional regime for the

contraventions and transgressions practiced prior to the date of the entry into force of the present

diploma.

The necessary representations were promoted to the hearing of the Higher Council of the

Judgeship, of the Superior Council of the Public Prosecutor's Office, of the Superior Council of the

Administrative and Fiscal Courts, of the Order of Lawyers, of the House of

Solicitors, from the Council of Justice Officers, of the National Association of

Portuguese Municipalities and the National Association of Freguestics.

Thus:

Under the terms of the paragraph d ) of Article 197 (1) of the Constitution, the Government presents to the

Assembly of the Republic the following proposal for a law:
