New decree outlines municipal council rules
A decree numbered 4 of the year 2026 has been published in the Official Gazette of the Tunisian Republic. It defines the organization of municipal work and includes new procedures for provisions and temporary transitions until the next municipal elections.Among its key provisions are: the establishment of a Conciliation Committee to resolve municipal disputes amicably, which will hear the parties involved, with the possibility of consulting an expert. An agreement must be reached within seven days, becoming binding once signed, and submitted to the governor within three days. The decree also stipulates the organization of an annual regional conference to monitor municipal performance, assess sanitation and administrative programs, and set objectives for the upcoming year. Additionally, a national conference will be held at least once during each parliamentary cycle. The decree changes the name of the Decentralization Support Fund to "The State Financial Transfers Fund for Local Communities," allowing requests for settlement in ongoing disputes. Its provisions will take effect after the results of the upcoming municipal elections, with the 2018 Local Communities Law repealed. Some accounting provisions are scheduled to come into force in the years 2030 and 2032.
