Multi-Year Plan can be voted on by the Mixed Budget Committee, this Tuesday (5)

Possible vote

The project guides the preparation of the Union’s annual Budgets, during the four-year period 2024-2027

Brasilia DF) – The Mixed Budget Committee (CMO) can vote on the final report of the Multiannual Plan 2024-2027 project (PLN 28/2023), this Tuesday (5), at 2 pm. The rapporteur, deputy Bohn Gass (PT-RS), created an annex to include investment proposals made by parliamentarians that were not in the government’s project, which must depend on the allocation of resources from amendments in the annual Budgets.

The CMO is chaired by senator Daniella Ribeiro (PSD-PB). The PPA is a four-year plan that guides the preparation of the Union’s annual Budgets. The government project came with R$13.3 trillion for the four years, distributed across 88 programs across the social, economic and institutional axes.

According to the rapporteur, it is necessary to comply with the resource margin for new expenses, estimated at around R$30 billion per year in relation to mandatory parliamentary amendments. Furthermore, there are limitations imposed by the new tax framework (Complementary Law 200, of 2023).

New themes

Bohn Gass decided to include in the plan some topics that were highly demanded by parliamentarians, such as: protection, rescue and recovery of domestic animals; semiconductor production; expansion of resources for Embrapa; and inclusion of family livestock farming within the policies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Development.

Furthermore, the rapporteur also included in the opinion the expansion of higher education, in the form of feasibility studies for regions where there are still no federal public universities.

As a rapporteur’s amendment, Bohn Gass included a new indicator regarding the number of children aged 4 to 5 enrolled in early childhood education. The deputy also accepted amendments that require the annual assessment of compliance with the PPA to include gender and race considerations.

The rapporteur did not accept amendments to new programs as he considered that the Executive’s proposal was already quite extensive. He also explained that he did not accept amendments on personnel expenses because they must be debated annually in the Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) and the Annual Budget Law (LOA).

Of the 284 amendments presented to the PPA, Bohn Gass rejected 110 and disallowed 13. Most of the amendments, 114, were new investments, 45 relating to road transport.
