Plans to overhaul Brazil’s land-based gambling framework were abruptly postponed yesterday following an intervention by Senate President Davi Alcolumbre, as reported by SBC Noticias Brazil.
The long-awaited Bill No. 2,234/2022 was withdrawn from the Senate’s agenda by Alcolumbre, who cited ‘low attendance’ for a federal measure but offered no firm indication on when or if the Bill will return or whether amendments will be required for a further review.
“Yesterday and today, given today’s quorum — 56 out of 81 senators — we have eight or nine senators who are outside Brazil on special mandates, and I spoke with all of them.” Alcolumbre declared.
“They requested that the presidency postpone the deliberation as they would like to be present on the day this matter is voted on.”
