ABSTRACT: This paper examines the shared competence of states, the Federal District, and municipalities, as established by Constitutional Amendment No. 132/2023, through the lens of its practical effects. Using analytical and dialectical methods, the study analyzes the changes to the federative structure and to legislative and tax autonomy brought about by the reform, clarifying their procedural implications and highlighting that the reform centralizes federal power and is expected to significantly increase judicial litigation.
