Overview
- The Senate approved PLP 73/2025 on Tuesday, June 16, sending the complementary law to the Chamber of Deputies after votes reported at 51–17 and 54–17 in different outlets.
- Rapporteur Marcos Rogério broadened the bill to bar contingenciamento for all agency activities rather than only for expenses paid with agencies' own fees or specific funds.
- The proposal covers 12 federal regulators including Aneel, Anatel, ANP, Anvisa, ANTT, Antaq and Anac and would make their budget lines immune to the routine bimonthly blocks used to meet fiscal goals.
- The Executive and the Ministry of Finance oppose the measure, arguing it would freeze budget execution and reduce tools the government uses to respond to revenue shortfalls.
- Sponsors plan fast action in the Chamber and to press to overturn a prior presidential veto on a related LDO clause, with agencies warning that recent blocks forced cuts or postponed inspections even though some later received temporary recompositions.
