Does the measure have the potential to become law?
A provisional measure comes into effect immediately, but requires confirmation by both houses of the National Congress, namely the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate, to become law. The period for such deliberations is 4 months.
However, these houses have already deliberated on significant proposals related to the state of Rio Grande do Sul. For example, on September 12, the Senate ratified decree PDL 321/2023, validating the state of calamity of 98 municipalities in RS until December 31, 2024.
Furthermore, the Chamber of Deputies ratified a decree granting exemption to Rio Grande do Sul and such municipalities from the limitations of the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF), upon validation of a state of calamity.
