Overview
- Lawmakers passed the reform with 53 votes in favor, adding Article 28 Bis that bans reserving parking spaces, obstructing transit, charging to watch or wash cars, and profiting from public space.
- The penalty sets non‑commutable arrests of 24 to 36 hours, with some reports citing 25 to 36 hours, replacing prior options to pay fines or do community service for these conduct violations.
- Enforcement foresees police presentation before a civic judge for these infractions, and cases involving threats or aggression would be turned over to the Ministerio Público.
- Authorities signal reporting channels such as Locatel (55 56 58 11 11) and SSC accounts for complaints as they prepare operational procedures ahead of the start date.
- Transitory provisions require a census and employment and training programs through STyFE and Sedeco for those who leave the activity, even as critics question legal coherence and social impacts.
