The Loteria Taubateana shall be a municipal service for operating any lottery modality provided for in federal legislation, such as numbered tickets, betting on drawn numbers or on the results of sporting events.
Lottery products will have restricted circulation in Taubaté, a medium-sized city in the State of São Paulo. The municipal lottery may be operated by the City Hall or in partnership with the private sector.
Amendments by the Justice Commission make corrections to the wording, such as: specifying that the responsibility for administering resources will be the responsibility of the Secretariat of Finance, removing the list of lottery modalities from the text, due to the fact that the municipality cannot create sweepstakes, for example.
An amendment presented by the Justice Commission brings together suggestions for the allocation of resources that were presented by councilors during the process, among them, municipal social security; actions in the areas of social assistance, human rights, sport, culture, health, public safety, tourism, environment and animal welfare; and payment of prizes.
Actions in the health area should prioritize oncological care, especially breast cancer, and care for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In the message sent to the Chamber, the mayor states that “raising new resources aims to generate an extra source of revenue for the municipality,” and that the project does not result in an increase in taxes or tributes to the population.
