| Some of the largest oil finds in recent years are off the Brazilian coast |
The bill,
which had already been approved by Senate, was passed by the lower house on
Wednesday.
The move is
one of several reforms proposed by the president in the wake of widespread
protests sparked by a rise in transport costs.
Once signed
by the president, the bill is due to come into effect next year.
According
to the resolution, 75% of drilling royalties the Brazilian government receives
from oilfields in the so-called "pre-salt" layer are to be invested
in education and 25% on health.
The
pre-salt area is so called because the oil and gas lies beneath several
thousand metres of water, rock and salt off the Brazilian coast.
Demonstrations
that rocked Brazil in June were triggered by transport fare rises, but quickly
encompassed other issues including the cost of staging the 2014 World Cup and
corruption.
The
protests often ended in fighting between police and protesters.
The unrest
prompted President Rousseff to present a package of investment and reforms in
public services.
Demonstrations
have grown smaller since June, but several took place in Brazilian cities on
Wednesday including in Rio de Janeiro and in Sao Paulo.
In Rio,
about 200 protesters tried to reach Governor Sergio Cabral's Guanabara Palace,
demanding his impeachment and political reform.
The area
was blocked off by police and officers used tear gas and rubber bullets after
protesters tried to break through their lines.
Another
protest was staged in Rio's Rocinha shanty town to mark one month since a
bricklayer went missing after being held for questioning by police.
Last
weekend, tens of thousands of workers across Brazil joined a day of strikes
called by trade unions. They ended in clashes between police and
protesters.

“… You Can See It In Your News
The final item is this: All around you, dear ones, is proof of what I'm telling you. You have two countries currently in turmoil at the moment, and a third one about to go. All three have been stable for a very long time. Who would have thought that Egypt would be part of this? Egypt seemed to be in balance for decades - or was it? Syria ruled itself with an iron hand and created a stability of power that was absolute. What would then cause these to erupt the way they did and at this time? If you take a look at why, and why now, you'll see the timing is all around 2013 and 2012. And it's around Human consciousness that is starting to be more transparent and saying, "We don't want what we now understand and see is continuing unbalance in our country. We see it never getting better, and now we want finality and we want resolution." That is what you're looking at.
It's ugly to look at this, for there is death, suffering, sorrow and turmoil. There is frustration, and the resolution of it all may take longer than you want it to. But someday you will look back and see the results clearly. Mass Human consciousness is starting to change and demand what it expects in the way of integrity. Governments often want the old ways of power, but their people want schools, hospitals, safe streets and parks, and peace with their neighbors.
So expect more of this, especially this year. The more turmoil you see, the more the puzzle is being worked with. So we close this message the way we started it. I know who you are, magnificent one. I sit at your feet in awe. Do not miss this point! Old souls have been here through all of the transitions of humanity. Do you understand that? Four times you came close to this shift you are today experiencing and four times you missed it. Four times you died in the process of trying. This time you didn't.
Do not miss this: There is something within your Akash, a "remembrance button", that is being pushed and plays an emotion that says, "We've felt this before and it didn't turn out well." Don't let this energy define you. It's the button of duality and fear that says things are always the way they are and they will repeat themselves because that's just the way life works. No it isn't! You are magnificent and you have the ability at this point to finally begin to see it, and to cast all the fears and the voices in the back seat of life and tell them you are in charge now and you are the one driving the car of your reality. That's the message of the day. ….”
