The plenary of the
Chamber of Deputies votes on Tuesday (14) the request nº 5.358/16 requesting
urgency for the evaluation of the bill 442/91 that analyzes the regulation of
the gaming in Brazil.
The request is the sixth in the voting list in a total of 22 topics that will
be treated in the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies in a session that is
scheduled to start at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
The request was asked by the partisan leaders under the terms of art. 155 of
the Internal Rules of the Chamber of Deputies. Once approved the request for
urgency in Plenary, the project passes the front in the "queue" of
debates and waits for the date to be voted definitively.
Bill 442, of 1991, was proposed by the then deputy Renato Vianna and deals with the repeal of legal provisions regarding the practice of popular local "jogo do bicho", preparing a Regulatory Framework for gaming activity in Brazil.
The last time the bill was discussed in the House plenary was on December 13 last year at a public hearing in which MPs and representatives of civil society presented arguments for and against the legalization of the activity.
