March 31, 2017 by Staff News Writer

The Legislative Assembly approved 1,297 rules with no budgetary content in the last 65 years.

This was revealed by a study conducted by the Department of Parliamentary Services and the State of the Nation Program.

The investigation was made based on the budgets approved between 1950 and 2016 .

Jorge Vargas Cullell, director of the State of the Nation Program, explained that these provisions, known as atypical, consist of regulations that were included in budgets, but were not related to them.

Some examples are taxes, tax exemptions, employment schemes and even laws, that were budgeted because they have a fixed voting period.

Out of the total of atypical rules, 378 correspond to exemptions of taxes.
