The General Sports Law and the Legal Framework for Gambling should return to the Senate’s agenda after the election period, according to the president of the House, Rodrigo Pacheco, in participation in the seminar on best international practices for preventing and combating racism and any type of violence in football, held by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), in Rio de Janeiro. The event took place on Wednesday, the 24th.
The Sports Law project (PL 1.153/2019), by Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB), was approved in June in the Senate, with rapporteurship by Leila Barros (PDT-DF), and in July by the Chamber of Deputies . However, the project received some modifications and needs to go through the senators again.
According to Pacheco, although the decision on the rapporteurship of the project has not been officially disclosed, the task should be passed on to parliamentarians such as Leila herself or Romário (PL-RJ), who have experience in the area.
“This text should be on the agenda after the October elections. There has already been a wide debate about it in the Chamber of Deputies and there are also many requests for an agenda with the Senate Presidency by clubs, athletes, as well as journalists and radio broadcasters. Let’s listen to everyone, also having a broad debate in the Federal Senate”, declared Pacheco.
