Brazil's Congress Rejects Bill to Authorize Fractional LPG SalesIn a significant legislative decision, the Mines and Energy Commission of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies has officially rejected Bill (PL) 3.513/2023. The proposed legislation aimed to authorize the fractional sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), a move that has now been halted following the commission's vote.
The rejection was based on the rapporteur's opinion, which highlighted two primary concerns. First, the bill was deemed to pose potential safety risks associated with the fractional distribution of LPG. Second, the rapporteur identified conflicts between the proposed bill and current legislation, specifically citing Law No. 15.348/2026.
This decision effectively blocks the authorization of fractional LPG sales under the terms outlined in PL 3.513/2023. The ruling underscores the commission's prioritization of safety and legal consistency in energy sector regulations.
