Bill provides for exemption from payment of toll roads for people with disabilities
The Senate is considering a bill that provides that persons with disabilities may be exempted from payment of tolls on highways. The PLS 452/2012 will be examined by the Committee on Economic Affairs on Tuesday , February 18 . According to Senator Ana Amelia ( PP - RS ) , the text limits the exemption to preserve the economic and financial balance of the highway concession contracts .
The rapporteur , Vania Lucia ( PSDB -GO ) , believes that the project does not mention how the budget funds for the expense , the benefit would be funded by the increased value of the toll for the other drivers , which could lead to increased fares.
