On Monday (the 31st), the Chamber of Deputies approved the provisional measure (MP) that regulates a R$ 30 billion credit line for car purchases by app drivers and taxi drivers. The proposal still needs to pass a vote on the Senate floor to have permanent effect.
The validity of the provisional measure only expires in October, but the forecast is that the National Congress will be emptied in the coming weeks due to elections. The week that begins this Monday should be the last voting period before the first round, which will take place on October 4.
The MP was approved in the joint committee last Friday, outside the concentrated effort week, after movements of approximation between President Lula and the presidents of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), and of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB).
The financing line is specifically directed to app drivers and taxi drivers. On the previous Thursday, the government extended the maximum payment term for financing from 72 to up to 84 months.
