       | Then why not just write it yourself?

       | complementary municipal law 993/2023
       | (https://legislacao.portoalegre.rs.gov.br/norma/47673), which
       | adds a single article to complementary municipal law 170/1987
       | (https://legislacao.portoalegre.rs.gov.br/norma/24099). As you
       | can see if you download the docx in the first link, it's a single
       | page, which contains a pair of articles written in a very
       | boilerplate way (the first article inserts a new article, with
       | three paragraphs, into the other law, and the second article says
       | that the law takes effect immediately once published).
