   Very briefly, on this very solemn day, when Your Excellency and 80 Senators reaffirm here — I am not speaking of the prerogatives of the Senate, but of the prerogatives of the Republic.

   No one can be above the law. That is the substance of this session, far more than a discussion of legitimacy or competence.
3. Sérgio Moro0:24 · play in the video

   So, on this very solemn date, I need to make a reference here to Bill 542, which was approved, because I was the rapporteur in the Senate.

   The author was Deputy Vinícius Carvalho. And it is a very simple bill.
5. Sérgio Moro0:42 · play in the video

   It is to reduce the gigantic bureaucracy that we have here in Brazil.

   The bill says the following: that the citizen who, for example, has a tree from which a branch could fall on his property or the tree itself could fall on someone — a family member, a resident — today has to request an authorization, a license to carry out the pruning.

   It is something simple, and that remains, but if he does not receive a response within 45 days, he can simply, by hiring a qualified professional, carry out that pruning and thus preserve his safety, that of his family, and preserve the safety of his home or property.

   And this is also especially pertinent because we have been seeing repeated power outages, often because a tree branch falls or a tree falls onto transmission lines.

   So, basically, it is about empowering the citizen so that he can protect himself, preserve his life and his property and escape those interminable bureaucracies that, unfortunately, we often encounter in environmental agencies or in city halls or other public bodies.

    So it is a modest bill, but I am sure it will make many people's lives easier.
11. Sérgio Moro2:19 · play in the video

    I reported on it in the CCJ; I made a change to the wording that came from the previous committee, simply to further cut red tape and prevent new delays on this issue.

    I thank my colleagues here for their support regarding this bill and I conclude, Mr. President. Thank you very much.
