Bill No. 143/2024 was approved by the committees and plenary of the Legislative Assembly of the State of Sergipe (Alese) – amending the lottery law, which allows the Executive Branch to provide the lottery service in Sergipe.
In the text, the caput of article 1 and the text of the eighth paragraph of paragraph 2 are changed. The action is necessary to add sport to the list of public policy modalities benefiting from the initiative, which did not happen initially.
The State Government‘s initiative seeks ways to expand the types of resources destined to encourage sports as well.
