Cuiabá mayor seeks to repeal municipal lottery law under urgent procedure
Cuiabá mayor Abilio Brunini submitted a bill to the municipal chamber on 9 February to repeal the law establishing the city's lottery. The proposal follows a precautionary decision by Brazil's Supreme Federal Court suspending municipalities' ability to operate lotteries; the mayor's administration said continuing could create legal and financial risks.
The bill would end Cuiabá's lottery framework and affect any municipal lottery contracts under the challenged law.
