Composition of the Joint Commission on the Ban on Gambling

Hey, folks! Fresh news for you: the Joint Commission that will debate the Provisional Measure on the ban on betting was officially formed in Congress. Let’s see how all of this is unfolding.

The Commission Structure

In total, we have 13 senators and 13 federal deputies ready to discuss the text that was sent by the government and, as usual, was signed by our President Lula last week.

Confirmed on the Commission

So far, 24 of the 26 names have already been confirmed. Only two more nominations are missing for senators from two blocs in the House. Check out the list of senators and deputies who will be part of this effort:

Updates on the Bill

The bill has already gone through 14 amendments since it started processing on Tuesday. And pay attention, because the deadline to submit amendments ends today!

The processing of the Provisional Measure should extend until 23 of November. But with an urgent procedure, starting from 9 of November, things could really heat up and obstruct the agenda!

The joint commission is expected to issue a report before taking the matter to a vote in the House and Senate plenary sessions.

So that’s it, folks! Stay tuned, because this debate promises to be something!
