Brazil is
increasingly approaching the sanction of a law that ends 70 years without legal
gaming in the country. Several sources point out that the CCJ would define the
new project rapporteur (PL 186/2014) in February or in the first days of March
for further treatment in plenary.
Meanwhile, the House of
Representatives must deal with that at the same time. With the other project, Law
(PL 442/91), Brazil analyzes the return of an activity that generate billions
of dollars in taxes and thousands of jobs in a time of crisis in the country.
This project had already been approved unanimously by the Special Committee on
National Development in November. But the text was referred to the CCJ after
approval in plenary of the request made by Senator Magno Malta (PR-ES), which
prevented treatment last year, and now seems to postpone its analysis at least
until April or May.
In addition to the CCJ, the project should have a new rapporteur, who was not
chosen. The last rapporteur of the bill was Senator Fernando Bezerra (PSB-PE)
who accompanied the process until the vote in plenary.
It should be remembered that a second bill is under parliamentary treatment, in this case, in the Chamber of Deputies. PL 442/91 was discussed at a public meeting at the end of December, but there is still no possible date for treatment in the House.
