Brazilian committee advances bill for national gambling-disorder programme
The Chamber of Deputies’ Social Security, Assistance, Childhood, Adolescence and Family Committee approved Bill 4583/24, proposing free, comprehensive care for people with gambling disorder. A replacement text keeps services within existing public health and social-assistance structures and removes a financing provision; the bill must next be considered by three other committees.
The proposal could set out nationwide treatment and prevention responsibilities for gambling-related harm.
