Lawmakers cast votes on legislation imposing fines on corporations for neglecting to secure their wires properly in public streets.
Get connected on WhatsApp to stay updated on the issue! 📞 The Belo Horizonte Municipal Chamber is set to take a decisive step this Tuesday (1st of July) as they vote on a bill meant to tackle the persistent problem of abandoned telecom cables. These cables often dangle dangerously on the city's streets with no one to remove them.
According to councilor Braulio Lara (Novo), the initiator of the bill, the initiative aims to provide a lasting solution for the tangle of broken wires and cables in Belo Horizonte, which pose a threat to the city's residents and disrupt the smooth flow of traffic in the Minas Gerais capital.
So, what's the plan? The bill calls for the creation of a dedicated communication channel for the public to report instances of abandoned cables. Once the reports are received, the Executive Power will be responsible for reaching out to the culpable companies.
The bill doesn't provide immediate solutions for the fine amount for non-compliant companies. That detail will be figured out in the regulation phase, taking place after the second round vote on the bill by the Municipal Chamber. This initiative is the sole item on today's Chamber agenda. Senate sessions in Belo Horizonte take place on the first ten working days of each month.
Stay tuned for updates on this initiative and other important matters affecting the city! 🌆
