📋 Tender Overview
The President of the Republic, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, sanctioned the law, which revokes outdated rules in the area of Social Security. The text was published in the Official Gazette of the Union this Thursday (13).
The new standard completely repeals the , known as the Organic Social Security Law (LOPS). The text also renders the Laws , and , which changed specific points of the LOPS, null and void. Furthermore, Law 15,257 renders the provisions of, which created the former National Institute of Social Security (INPS), null and void.
In practice, this legislation had been invalid since 1991. That year, Laws 8,212 (Organic Social Security Law) and 8,213 (Social Security Benefit Plans) were sanctioned. The two standards determined the revocation of any provisions contrary to them.
The new law now promotes an express repeal, according to senator Mecias de Jesus (Republicanos-RR). The parliamentarian was the rapporteur of the bill (PL), which gave rise to Law 15,257. The matter was proposed by deputy Fausto Jr. (Uniao-AM) in October.
For the general public, the absence of express repeal of such rules can cause confusion when interpreting the provisions that govern the granting of Social Security benefits, which is why it is absolutely appropriate that the rules be repealed in a crystal clear manner, argued Mecias de Jesus in the report.
