Bill that creates actions to encourage recycling is sanctioned

Bill No. 6545/19 , which creates incentives for the recycling industry, establishes the Support Fund for Recycling Actions (Favorecicle) and Investment Funds for Recycling Projects (ProRecicle), which was partially sanctioned by the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro.

The law published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Thursday (9) authorizes the constitution of ProRecicle. Fund resources will be allocated to recycling projects and the establishment of the National Recycling Incentive Commission.

Under the project, the Commission will be formed by representatives of the Ministries of Environment; of Labor and Employment; of Industry and Commerce; from the farm; of the Cities; and the National Congress. Scientists and representatives from the business sector and civil society will also participate. The Commission will be responsible for proposing guidelines, monitoring and evaluating recycling incentive policies.

vetoes

According to the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, part of the sanctioned law was vetoed for not complying with the provisions of the Federal Constitution and the Fiscal Responsibility Law for the “absence of estimated budget and financial impact and budgetary and financial adequacy regarding the creation of expenses and revenue waivers”.

The creation of the Support Fund for Actions Aimed at Recycling (Favorecicle) was also vetoed, “since the creation of a body in the Public Administration falls within the exclusive legislative competence of the President of the Republic ( Art. 61, § 1, II, “e” of the Constitution ), which is why the creation of a Fund, with resources from the budget, requires the initiative of the Chief of the Federal Executive”.
