The Chamber of Deputies approved, this Monday (12/15), a project which excludes from the rules of the fiscal framework, from 2025, temporary public health and education expenditure financed with resources from the pre-salt Social Fund. The proposal now goes to presidential approval.
The approved text replaces by the Senate PLP 163/25, written by deputy Isnaldo Bulhões Jr. (MDB-AL). With this measure, the Chamber authorized the use of approximately 1.5 billion reais per year, for five years, outside the limits of the tax framework.
The rapporteur in the House, José Priante (MDB-PA), stressed that the project does not create new expenses, it only allows the use of existing resources. “The measure increases the financial allocation of the Union without affecting the current budget,” he said.
