The senator for Rio Grande do Sul forwarded the amendment no. 67 - PLS nº 186,
of 2014, to the Rapporteur, Senator Benedito de Lira, for analysis of the CCJ
(Commission of Constitution, Justice and Citizenship).
The full text follows:
Add the following art.52 to the Senate Bill 186, of 2014, renumbering the
following: "Art.52. Law No. 7,291, of December 19, 1984, becomes
effective with the addition of the following art.6-A:
"Art.6o-A. The exploitation of bets in equestrian competitions is
permitted in the Country, observing, where applicable, the provisions of
art.7th to Art.17 of this Law.
Single paragraph.The activity referred to the caput will be developed in
order to stimulate the creation and employment of the national horse, through
the Coordinating Commission for the Creation of the National Horse - CCCCN, in
the form regulated by the Executive Power.
JUSTIFICATION
We
present the amendment to expand the chances of explitating bets related to
national equideoculture. Currently, Law No. 7,291, of 1984, already authorizes
the operation of bets with the purpose of supplying the necessary resources for
the coordination and supervision of the national equideoculture. Such
authorization, however, is limited to the turfistic activity, that is to say,
the performance of horse races, not reaching the equestrian competitions.
With the gradual decline of turf’s popularity, it is necessary to find other
forms of financing and support for the creation of the national horse, a source
that generates employment and an important cultural element in many regions of
the country.
As the text approved by the Special Committee on National Development does not
deal with this issue, the proposed amendment seeks to add a new mechanism to
Law No. 7,291 of 1984 to legalize betting in equestrianism competitions, which
should obey the same rules that exist today for turfí activity, including with
regard to the role played by the Coordinating Commission for the Creation of
the National Horse - CCCCN.
