Brazilian Senate economic affairs committee plans hearing on betting ban
Brazil’s Senate Economic Affairs Committee approved a request for a public hearing on the social and economic effects of the fixed-odds betting ban under Provisional Measure 1,394/2026. Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo requested the hearing, which has no scheduled date; the mixed committee tasked with examining the measure has not yet been installed.
The hearing will give legislators a forum to examine the ban’s economic, fiscal and social effects.
