Deputies fail to approve the Income Law 2023 in a timely manner

This delay generates pressure on the Chamber of Senators, whose members must analyze, discuss and vote on the Income Law before next October 31, first in commissions and then in plenary.

The “legislative clock” is a practice of Congress to avoid failing to comply with legal and constitutional deadlines in the exercise of its functions, such as the approval of the Economic Package. Thus, a session open within the legal limit remains valid, even if the limit is exceeded in the “normal” calendar.

Earlier, with 270 votes in favor; 217 votes against and one abstention, the deputies approved the proposal for the Federal Rights Law 2023 sent by the federal government, through the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP).

The Federal Law of Rights is a fiscal order that establishes the collection of rights for the provision of public services or for the use, enjoyment or exploitation of the nation’s public domain assets, which requires constant adjustments in relation to changes and requisitions of the dependencies that provide the services.
