Bill of Popular Initiative for the National Fund for Housing
The Bill of Popular Initiative for the creation of the National Fund for Housing, later Act 11.124/2005, first began its legal proceeding in 1992 and was updated with the substitute 00036/2004. It foresees the creation of an investment fund for low-income housing in Brazil from funds relocated from the Worker?s Support Fund and the Time of Service Guarantee Fund. This was the first Bill of Popular Initiative proposed in Brazil, although it only passed in 2005, 14 years later. Laws of Popular Initiative are provided for in Brazil by the Constitution of 1988. In order to commence this legislative process, the bill must be supported by one per cent of the national electorate in at least five states and at least 0.3% of voters from each state.
