The House of Representatives approved on Tuesday night (18) the bill that and, in practice, rescues parliamentary amendments that had been canceled in December.
The so -called remains to be paid are resources inherited from previous years, as they were not executed within the stipulated period. The approved project has redeemed remains to be paid for not processed since 2019, including canceled, and guarantees a new payment deadline by 2026.
The project emerged and was approved in February, amid the clash of the Supreme Court (STF) due to demanding more transparency and traceability.
Now he passed the House after the Congress and the minister reached an agreement. It approved the plan presented by the summit of the houses to get the release of parliamentary amendments, and parliamentarians approved resolution project to implement the established rules.
But the proposal maintained one, which led the magistrate to ask for more explanations.
Last December, R $ 2.6 billion in amendments – agora resurrected – were canceled. The bill approved by the House on Tuesday also gives more breath to the execution of another $ 5.6 billion that could be blocked from mid -year.
Congressmen from different political parties have advocated the measure, however, with the argument that rescuing the remains to be paid will avoid a “works cemetery” across the country. The proposal was approved by 65 votes to 1 and went to the.
PL leader Senator Carlos Portinho (PL-RJ) has changed the original project and included an article that prohibits the payment of “works and services that are under investigation or present evidence of irregularity.”
Congress tried to ensure, at the LDO (Budgetary Guidelines Law) of 2025, the extension of the deadline for the execution of these expenses by the end of this year. The article was approved by the congressmen, but vetoed by President Lula (PT) in the final stretch of 2024.
In justification, the government argued that the measures to maintain the remains to be paid contrary to the public interest “in order to affect the efficient and effective allocation of resources to public activities in a satisfactory state of realization, the main objective of federal financial programming.”
In another passage, the executive even argued that the changes could affront provisions of the Constitution by dealing with perennial rules of remains to be paid, extrapolating the financial year of the LDO in question.
Less than two months later, the government itself consented to its leader in Congress to reverse the situation and extend the validity of these resources. The bill was filed on February 11 by the Senator (PT-AP).
