NEW GAS BILL OF LAW RETURNS ON THE AGENDA OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background Information
\n<\/u><\/strong>On December 10, 2020, the Senate voted to add four amendments to the Gas Bill. Since the Senate amended the bill, it was sent back to the House of Representatives for the voting of such amendments.<\/p>\n

Latest Developments
\n<\/u><\/strong>On February 25, 2021 the Collegiate of Leaders, agreed that the Bill of Law No. 4476\/2020 (\u201cGas Bill\u201d) would return to the House of Representatives\u2019 agenda on the beginning of March.<\/p>\n

The rapporteur of the Gas Bill, La\u00e9rcio Oliveira (PP-SE), proposed the rejection of all amendments proposed and approved by the Senate that enabled the market\u2019s verticalization, removed ANP\u2019s power to classify gas pipelines, and reinforced the states\u2019 ability to legislate on piped gas services matters.<\/p>\n

In regard the inflexible thermals, the amendment had already been rejected by the Senate with no possibility of returning to the text in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

Considering the above, the tendency is for the approval of the Gas Bill with the rejection of all amendments proposed by the Senate, allowing its submission for presidential sanction.<\/p>\n
