Following is the text of the email I received:

Finally a good law of the Municipality of São Paulo.
The law of free parking in malls and other establishments is already applied.
Parking gratuity - State Law No. 1209/2004 - The cash clerk knows, but only if you will demand their rights.

It is necessary that the purchase price is 10 times greater than the value of the parking lot.
Example: if the value of parking is $ 3.00 you will need to spend at least $ 30.00 with anything - food, clothing, parts, etc.. - At the mall, and present the coupon box in the parking tax.
They will stamp and validate the ticket, without you having to pay anything more.

Spread the information, it is Law (also appeared in the newspaper the Globe).

It works the same, but it is clear that the malls will not advertise it.

Visit this link and print, so do not have to deny free education.

But this is not so, if we look at the link mentioned (content copied below) we see that it was the time of a bill, which was subsequently vetoed.

Below the contents of the draft law and the reason for his veto. Both taken from the link sent in by Oswaldo 21/mar/08.

REASONS VETOProjeto Law No. 454/07

ATL Letter No. 51, February 8, 2008

Ref: MPS-23 Office No. 0055/2008

President

I refer to the referenced letter, by which Your Excellency sent a certified copy of the sanction of law enacted by this egregious Board at its meeting on 18 December 2007 on the Draft Law No. 454/07, authored by Councilman Edivaldo estimated, which provides for the collection vehicle to remain parked in the shopping malls, supermarkets and the like.

The measure aims to relieve customers of the establishments mentioned payment for the use of the parking lot when the corresponding expenditure to prove at least ten times the value of this collection. Furthermore, it determines that the stay for up to fifteen minutes shall be free, and that the benefit may only be granted to the client to remain in place for a maximum of 4 (four) hours.

Despite its laudable goals, the project can not be passed into law as unconstitutional, imposing itself on bringing the president's veto, for the following reasons adduced.

Indeed, its content does not fall within the orbit of the municipal jurisdiction. Article 24, paragraph I of the Constitution empowers only the Union, the States and the Federal District to legislate concurrently on economic law, not fitting the municipality, therefore, disciplinary matters relating to prices subject to private enterprise.

The subject matter is limited to the approved text, even in the sphere of civil law, and, more specifically, the right of property, these matters also legislative competence of the Federal Union (Article 22, paragraph I of the Constitution) .

In addition, the State, as normative and regulating agent of economic activity, shall, as provided by law, the functions of supervision, encouragement and planning, these functions being indicative for the private sector, as envisaged by Article 174 of the Constitutional Charter .

Given these legal norms, it appears that the City can not make gratuitous use of parking, and shall have only the question what if you enter in the peculiar local interest.

The municipal law can govern the economic activities in its territory, for the observance of urban standards, hygiene and quality of life of the consumer and the environment by commercial establishments, industries, services and the like. It shall, in accordance with the Organic Law of São Paulo, in article 160, "heading", to grant and renew licenses for installation and operation, set time and operating conditions, to lay restrictions on the location of these enterprises in the urban space but can not interfere directly in specific economic activities, seeking to regulate the pricing policy for their establishments.

The Judiciary has repeatedly struck down efforts of similar content. I cite the decision of the Supreme Court handed down in the face of the lawsuit filed in State Law No. 4711 of April 7, 1992, the Holy Spirit, which limits the value of the collection in particular areas:

"While the Union regulates property rights and rules of substantive intervention in the economic, the other levels of government only exercise administrative policing the use of property and economic activity of individuals, in order, always, the substantive provisions edited by the Union "(ADIN No. 1981-1 - Rep. Min Mauricio Correa, vu, j. 8/23/01; in the same direction ADIN No. 1472-2, Min Sepulveda belongs, vu, j. 5 / 9 / 02; ADIN No. 1623-7, Min Moreira Alves, vu, j. 6/25/97; ADIN No. 2448-5, Min Sydney Sanches, vm, j. 4/23/03).

In the same line of understanding, the Court of Rio de Janeiro suspended from the outset the purpose of the State Law No. 4541, 2005, which governs the charge for use of parking lots in shopping centers and major markets in the State of Rio de Janeiro, decision was upheld by the Supreme Court, remaining suspended the application of said law.

Thus, any host of the proposal would only create expectations that would quickly be frustrated in the courts.

It is finally noted that the bringing down of a penalty provision alone, though stripped, so the necessary force to compel compliance or to punish the offenders.

Therefore, I am constrained to veto the full bill passed, with the fulcrum in Article 42, § 1 of the Organic Law of São Paulo, returning the matter to the review of this illustrious House.

On that occasion, I renew to you assurances of my esteem and consideration.
