Brasil Socialist Party deputy member Felipe Carrera will lead the working group, reporting developments to Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco.

The group is reported to have reinitiated meetings this week to ‘untangle the path’ for Brazil’s separate gambling decrees to clear the Lower House and Senate to come into law federally.

Last February, the Chamber of Deputies approved the passage of Bill-442/1991, that will allow for the government to establish a legislative framework to revamp the nation’s casino, horseracing, bingo and instant game laws.
