Governor vetoes the end of licensing for vehicles in RS Governor Eduardo Leite vetoed the bill, approved by the Legislative Assembly, which provided for the end of the licensing fee for vehicles in Rio Grande do Sul. The decision was justified by the financial impact of the measure, which, according to Leite, would remove around R$750 million from public coffers.

Access the g1 RS channel on WhatsApp The bill had been unanimously approved by state deputies. The main argument of the proposal is that, since 2019, the physical document is no longer issued, becoming exclusively digital. As a result, there would no longer be the cost of generating paper, which would justify the end of charging drivers. In a video published on social media, the governor argued that the loss of revenue would mainly compromise services linked to the area of ??public security and the State Department of Transit (Detran). According to Leite, part of the amount collected is used to purchase vehicles, weapons and new technologies, such as the electronic fencing system. He also highlighted that, in 2021, the state government had already reduced other fees charged by Detran. "This project alone would remove around R$750 million per year from public coffers. It would be the end of a revenue that supports a service that continues to exist and that also finances public security for the people of Rio Grande do Sul," said Leite. With the veto, the proposal returns to the Legislative Assembly. Deputies have a period of 30 days, on an urgent basis, to analyze the governor's decision and vote on whether to maintain or overturn the veto. If it is not voted on during this period, the project will be blocked from the House's voting agenda. There are currently no changes for drivers.
