What is a bill (PL)?

Os bills They are analyzed by specific committees, which assess their constitutionality, relevance and social impact before being voted on in plenary.

According to the Brazilian Federal Constitution, any citizen or entity can present a bill to the National Congress. However, only parliamentarians have the prerogative to present projects that generate expenses for the public budget. Furthermore, there are specific rules for processing popular initiative projects, which require the collection of a minimum number of signatures from registered voters.

The legislative process in Brazil is quite complex and involves several steps until a bill be approved and sanctioned by the President of the Republic. According to data from the Federal Senate, between 2019 and 2021, more than 32 thousand bills were presented in the National Congress, with only 3% being approved and converted into law during this period. This demonstrates the importance of democratic debate and careful analysis by parliamentarians to ensure that laws are effective and serve the interests of society as a whole.
