BRASILIA: The head of Brazil's lower house of Congress said he hopes that the chamber will approve the Senate version of a bill regulating ride-hailing apps such as Uber Technologies Inc. 

Speaker Rodrigo Maia told Reuters that car-hailing apps should be regulated by the municipal authorities of each city as proposed in the original bill submitted to his chamber, before lawmakers added amendments stipulating more onerous regulations.
