The bill amends Law No. 8.137/1990 to make it a crime to raise, without just cause, the price of public utility goods.
The bill amends Law No. 8.137/1990 to make it a crime to raise, without just cause, the price of public utility goods. These goods are the ones indicated in a section of Law No. 9.847/1999. The official summary (ementa) does not detail the penalty or what counts as just cause.
The subject of this bill was chosen by artificial intelligence and may be wrong: The bill creates a crime (public safety), but deals with price increases of public utility goods (economy and consumers); two automatic readings chose different subjects (Public Safety and Labor and Rights).
