Brasília - Today the Chamber of Deputies will hold a plenary session for a final vote on the so-called "Good MP" - "MP do Bem" - a temporary measure (medida provisória (MP)) drawn up by the executive branch which reduces taxes in various segments of the economy. Before the vote, the deputies will have to deal with eight riders attached to the bill.

The Chamber will also vote on a bill to change an MP (on the School Factory project) from an MP into a law and provide students in the University for All Program (Prouni) with scholarships.
