Brazilian legislators have postponed a crucial decision regarding the allocation of sports wagering proceeds to federal law enforcement agencies.
The Joint Congressional Committee (CCJ) has rescheduled its deliberation and vote to a Federal Senate session. The meeting is now set for Wednesday, July 1, beginning at 2:30 p.m.
Lawmakers will convene in Plenary Room 6 of the Nilo Coelho Wing, a venue regularly used for the committee’s official proceedings.
The legislative proposal under consideration is designated as Provisional Measure 1,348/2026. Its primary objective is to redirect a calculated portion of the nation’s fixed-odds sports wagering revenue toward funding federal police operations.
The designated recipient is Funapol, which serves as the financial support mechanism for Brazil’s federal law enforcement infrastructure.
Phased Increase in Funding Allocation Through 2028
Congressman Aluisio Mendes drafted the original report, while Senator Weverton conducted the review in his capacity as the CCJ’s designated rapporteur.
The proposed framework establishes a graduated allocation system that increases over a three-year period. This structure ensures funding grows progressively while minimizing disruption to existing revenue distributions.
During 2026, Funapol would receive 1% of total wagering proceeds. The following year would see this proportion increase to 2%.
By 2028 and continuing thereafter, the allocation would reach its target level of 3%. Legislative drafters designed this gradual approach to maintain stability in current revenue-sharing arrangements with other beneficiaries.
Additionally, the measure permits an initial transfer of up to BRL 200 million to Funapol during 2026. This provision operates independently of the percentage-based allocation system.
The legislation would also authorize supplementary compensation payments for law enforcement personnel. These funds would cover overtime work and special assignments across multiple agencies.
Beneficiaries of this enhanced compensation structure include the Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, and Federal Penal Police. Officers from all three organizations would qualify for the additional remuneration under the proposed regulations.
Legislative Path Forward
The rapporteur’s comprehensive report addresses matters beyond wagering revenue allocation. It includes modifications to healthcare assistance provisions for federal law enforcement personnel.
The provisional measure amends portions of two established statutes. These are Complementary Law No. 89 from 1997 and Law No. 13,756 from 2018.
These existing laws currently establish the regulatory framework for distributing wagering revenue throughout Brazil. The new measure would introduce targeted modifications to specific elements of this structure.
Currently, the provisional measure holds interim legal authority. However, achieving permanent status requires complete Congressional ratification.
Following CCJ approval, the measure would advance to the full Chamber of Deputies for consideration. Subsequently, it would proceed to the complete Federal Senate for an independent vote.
The measure becomes binding law only after securing approval from both legislative bodies. Until that occurs, it functions as a temporary regulation under Brazil’s provisional measure framework.
The postponement provides committee members additional time for thorough examination of the report’s provisions. The rescheduled vote will take place July 1 in the Federal Senate chamber.
