SENATOR Erwin Tulfo said he will file a bill seeking to criminalize the “license for rent” scheme, which was uncovered as a major operation in the Senate’s investigation into the flood control scam.
The measure, titled the “License Integrity Act,” aims to penalize the lending, borrowing, or fraudulent use of government-issued licenses.

Under the bill, offenders would face imprisonment ranging from three to twelve years, and fines between P300,000 and P3 million.
The bill seeks to cover licenses issued by the Department of Public Works and Highways for contractors, the Bureau of Customs for Customs brokers, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for environmental compliance.
