The Chamber of Deputies will make a concerted effort in the first week of August, right after the parliamentary recess, to vote on urgent proposals and provisional measures of interest to the federal government. The debate on the nursing floor wage will be put on the agenda again, increasing pressure on the Senate in relation to gambling in Brazil.
