TLDR
- Brazil’s Joint Congressional Committee postponed its vote on Provisional Measure 1,348/2026.
- The measure sends part of sports betting revenue to the Federal Police Fund, known as Funapol.
- The revenue share starts at 1% in 2026 and rises to 3% by 2028.
- Up to BRL 200 million could move to Funapol in 2026 alone.
- The measure still needs approval from both chambers of Congress before it becomes permanent law.
Brazil’s Joint Congressional Committee, known as the CCJ, was set to vote on a new betting revenue plan. That vote has now been pushed back.
The committee will instead discuss and vote on the report during a session in the Federal Senate. It is scheduled for Wednesday, July 1, at 2:30 p.m.
The meeting will happen in Plenary Room 6 of the Nilo Coelho Wing. This is where the CCJ holds many of its formal sessions.
The proposal is called Provisional Measure 1,348/2026. It aims to send a portion of Brazil’s fixed-odds sports betting revenue to a fund for the Federal Police.
That fund is called Funapol. It supports the financial needs of Brazil’s federal law enforcement agencies.
Revenue Share Set to Increase Through 2028
The report was written by Congressman Aluisio Mendes. Senator Weverton reviewed it as the CCJ’s rapporteur.
Under the plan, Funapol would receive a growing share of betting revenue over time. The schedule is broken into three steps.
In 2026, Funapol would get 1% of betting revenue. That share rises to 2% in 2027.
Starting in 2028, the share would settle at 3% going forward. Lawmakers say this schedule keeps the existing betting revenue distribution mostly unchanged elsewhere.
The measure also allows up to BRL 200 million to be transferred to Funapol in 2026 alone. This is separate from the percentage-based schedule.
The bill would also let the government pay extra compensation. This covers overtime and extraordinary duties for several police forces.
Those forces include the Federal Police, the Federal Highway Police, and the Federal Penal Police. All three would be eligible for the added pay under the new rules.
What Happens Next in Congress
The full report covers more than just betting revenue. It also updates health care assistance rules for federal law enforcement officers.
The measure changes parts of two existing laws. These are Complementary Law No. 89 of 1997 and Law No. 13,756 of 2018.
Both laws currently govern how betting revenue gets distributed in Brazil. The new measure would adjust parts of that framework.
Right now, the provisional measure already carries legal weight. However, it needs full Congressional approval to become permanent.
If the CCJ approves the report, it moves to the full Chamber of Deputies. It would then go to the full Federal Senate for a separate vote.
Only after both chambers approve the measure does it become law. Until then, it remains a temporary rule under Brazil’s provisional measure system.
The delay gives committee members more time to review the report in full. The new vote is set for July 1 in the Federal Senate.
