With approval, the 2017 legislation will be amended, allowing the expansion of partnerships with the private sector in areas such as health, education, housing, urban mobility, culture, sport and social assistance. However, the text does not specify how these privatizations and partnerships will be implemented, leaving this definition for future projects and decrees.
