The proposal returned to the House of Laws, which could maintain or overturn the veto. ?Click and follow the g1 SC channel on WhatsApp Alesc confirmed to g1 this Thursday (6) the receipt of the communication and that the veto message "will be processed according to rules". ?? The wild boar is considered an invasive species in the state and its disorderly proliferation without natural predators is considered harmful to agriculture. Breeding the animal is prohibited by law, but hunting is permitted, according to the State Agriculture and Livestock Federation. What did the project that paid for the killing of wild boars provide? According to the text, the state of Santa Catarina would pay the amount to anyone who could prove that the animal was slaughtered regularly and, in the case of private properties, with authorization from the land owner. The financial impact and details of how payments will be made were not included in PL 287/2026. Furthermore, it would be up to the Executive to detail how this reimbursement would be made, the inspection and other criteria for payment. What did the State Attorney General’s Office say? For PGE, the state government's legal body, the bill is unconstitutional as it does not present any study on the financial impact. Furthermore, the proposal encounters an electoral impediment, as it seeks to establish a program intended for the distribution of values, without legal authorization and without budgetary execution previously foreseen this year, in which the election takes place. It also adds that the measure is prohibited in relation to the Fiscal Responsibility Law, reiterating that the legislation prohibits public managers from incurring expenditure obligations in the last two four months of their mandate without demonstrating cash availability. In justifying the veto, the governor explained that the problems highlighted reach "the entire core of the proposition". Therefore, it would not be possible to carry out just a partial veto of the law.
