Deputy proposes law that ends state lotteries monopoly in Santa Catarina

The State Lotteries Privatization project, presented by Representative Bruno Souza (NOVO) proposes the regulation of lotteries in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In order to keep the state at the forefront of the sector and prevent the government's exploitation monopoly, the Bill defends exploitation through permission, without any guarantee of exclusivity and privileging broad competition.

The deputy wants to prevent outdated models like the late LOTESC from occupying the scene in Santa Catarina again.

“Santa Catarina doesn't need a state lottery. I am proposing that this service be offered by the private sector,” defends Souza.

Thus, Santa Catarina may allow the exploitation of lotteries by the private initiative, since the constitution does not grant the Union exclusive rights over the operation of lotteries, according to a recent decision by the STF.

"It is less a service in the hands of the State, so that it focuses on what really matters: health, education and security," concludes the state deputy.
