The Minas Gerais government told the Supreme Court in ADI 8.014 that the ANJL lacks standing to challenge state decree 49.279/2026, which bars betting advertising and sponsorship on state public property. In a petition dated 19 October and signed by governor Mateus Simões on 20 October, the state said the ANJL's member list includes payment institutions and a production company, and that Provisional Measure 1.394/2026 has removed the action's practical purpose. Justice Flávio Dino denied a precautionary measure on 21 September.
