Assembly approves bill that creates the State Lottery of Amazonas

State deputies approved in the session this Wednesday (15), the Bill authored by the Government of Amazonas that creates the public service of state lottery. The proposal aims to promote non-tax revenues to finance socially relevant activities, primarily social security. The Amazonas Lottery will be promoted by the Executive, through the Amazonian Company for the Development and Mobilization of Assets (Cada), an entity linked to the State Department of Finance.

In the message that the Bill sent to the deputies, the State emphasizes that the proposal is in line with the decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which became final in February of this year, which unanimously assured the ministers, “all the States and the Federal District the possibility of operating the same lottery modalities that the Union operates.”

According to the Bill, the public lottery service in Amazonas will be promoted by the State Executive, through the Amazonian Company for Development and Mobilization of Assets (Cada), an entity linked to the Secretary of State for Finance (Sefaz), whose constitution was authorized by Law No. 5,054, of 2019.

Article 2 of the Bill says that “the exploitation of the public lottery service is limited to the territory of Amazonas and is restricted to the modalities of lottery activities defined by federal legislation.”

The Art. 4 defines that the commercialization can only be carried out for a person of legal age and capable, who is in the limits of the territory of the State or declares residence in Amazonas, depending on the ways of acquisition of the service, physical or virtual.
