Summary
From public safety reforms to clean-energy tenders and women’s health initiatives, Rio and the state government rolled out a wide range of policy actions and civic programs on Friday.
Rio’s government advanced key reforms across justice, energy, transport, and health. The state approved a new law tightening temporary prison leave, adding risk assessments and electronic monitoring. The Rio Court of Justice (TJRJ) announced it will host Brazil’s national asset-recovery meeting and launched a tender to shift its electricity purchases to the free-energy market. City Hall opened Gericinó’s first construction-debris landfill and launched the “Sistema RIO” bus-fleet renewal. The ANAC regulator moved forward on a new baggage-fee bill, while the city expanded access to Implanon ahead of Saturday’s women’s-health and vaccination campaign.
