The objective of the author of Bill 133/21 is to finance actions aimed at the inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market. “The measure will not have any financial-budgetary impact, since the percentage that now reverts to the FAT will be deducted from the amount destined to cover the cost of expenses and maintenance of the operating agent of the federal lotteries,” explains Deputy Helio Lopes (PSL-RJ).
For the parliamentarian, the measure can be “an important step towards the expansion of policies and actions aimed at the inclusion of people with disabilities.”
Under analysis in the Chamber of Deputies, the text alters Law 13.756 / 18, which deals with the distribution of funds from federal lotteries.
The proposal will be analyzed conclusively by the commissions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; Finance and Taxation; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
Aid for the Brazilian Confederation of Sports for the Deaf
Bill 150/21 destines part of the funds collected through lotteries, such as the Federal, Mega-Sena and Timemania to the Brazilian Confederation of Sport for the Deaf (CBDS). The text, which is being processed by the Chamber of Deputies, amends Law 13.756 / 18.
According to the proposal, the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) and the Brazilian Paralympic Committee (CPB) must each pass on to CBDS 3% of the funds received via lotteries or prediction contests.
Currently, in addition to COB and CPB, part of the collection of lotteries is already earmarked for the Brazilian Club Confederation (CBC), the Brazilian School Sports Confederation (CBDE) and the Brazilian University Sports Confederation (CBDU). According to the project, the funds should continue to be applied exclusively to the development and maintenance of sport, including the training of athletes, participation in events and the cost of administrative expenses.
“Today, the CBDS is not a beneficiary of these resources. It is not for nothing that the sports practiced by the deaf are not as well-known as the Olympic and Paralympic sports,” sates the author of the project, deputy Marcelo Aro (PP-MG).
"With a permanent source of resources, the sport of the deaf may have the chance to develop as it did with the Olympic and Paralympic modalities, since they started to be beneficiaries of a continuous source of financing," concludes the author.
The project will be analyzed, conclusively, by the commissions for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; of Sport; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
