The Senate must analyze the Complementary Bill (PLP) 123/2021, which excludes resources from parliamentary bench amendments from the spending ceiling imposed on states in fiscal crisis.
The proposal benefits states participating in the Tax Recovery Plan or renegotiated installments of debts with the Union. Among the states that have joined the Tax Recovery Regime that may benefit are Goiás, Minas Gerais , Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul.
Authored by the deputy Lucas Vergílio (Solidariedade-GO), the text was approved by the Chamber by 372 votes to 13, on the 30th, and sent to the Senate.
The budget bill for 2022 (PLN 19/ 21), sent by the Executive Branch, reserves R$ 5.7 billion for bench amendments, which are mandatory. If approved by Congress, PLP 123/21 will allow states to deduct from spending ceilings transfers tied to specific expenditures, such as fund-to-fund transfers; the Contribution for Intervention in the Economic Domain (Cide); the education salary; and those related to the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment (Pronatec).
The Deputy Gil Cutrim (Republicans-MA) presented the report of deputy Christino Aureo (PP-RJ) who recommended the approval of the original text. “The federative entities cannot be harmed by incurring expenses with resources from transfers from the Union with linked investments or with resources from budget amendments”, argued Gil Cutrim.
