Brazilian sanitation legislation race goes down to the wire

摘要

Fears have been raised over the pro-gress of a crucial piece of legislation passing through the Brazilian par-liament that aims to rewrite the way the country's sanitation sector is run. After being approved by the House of Representatives in mid-December, the Sanitation Projeto de Lei (known in the House by its number 3.261/2019) was recently sent to the Senate, where it will be evaluated by the Environment and Infrastructure Commissions, on dates yet to be defined. Later, the President of the Senate will define the date on which the bill will be voted in plenary.
