Key Points
- The new lottery service is set to function as a fundraising tool for public policies considered “strategic and of social interest,” according to the bill’s text
- Areas such as the Protection of Persons with Disabilities, Urban Mobility, Drug Prevention and Southern region will reportedly receive support from the lottery service
The Balneário Camboriú City Council has officially approved Substitute Bill One to Ordinary Bill 136, originally presented by the Executive Branch in May 2025, set to result in the formation of a public lottery service throughout the municipality.
The new lottery service will function as a fundraising tool for public policies considered “strategic and of social interest,” according to the bill’s text, with areas such as the Protection of Persons with Disabilities, Urban Mobility, Drug Prevention and Southern region receiving support through the fundraising.
The legislation now awaits final approval and signature from Mayor Juliana Pavan Von Borstel, having passed through the City Council by a 14-2 majority vote.
Good to know: A legislative proposal in the northeastern Brazilian state of Piauí aims to introduce gambling harm education in schools through a program titled Fim de Jogo, or “End of the Game,” introduced on July 18
Pending Mayor Borstel’s approval, the municipal administration will then be granted authority to either directly operate the lottery service or choose to transfer it through “concession, permission or authorization.”
The substitute to Ordinary Bill 136 also allows for any type of lottery regulated within federal law to operate within the boundaries of Balneário Camboriú.
