According to the approved text, 30% of what is already collected in taxes on sports betting will be allocated to the National Public Security Fund. Bookmakers pay a tax rate of 12% on net revenue. These amounts must be used for specific purposes, such as:
- acquisition of equipment: technological and military modernization;
- funding a national floor: financial support to ensure the viability of a minimum floor for security professionals across the country;
- intelligence actions: strengthen investigative capabilities to financially stifle militias and criminal factions.
SUSP AND FUNDS
The heart of the reform is the constitutionalization of Susp (Single Public Security System), which stops being just a legal guideline and becomes a constitutional imperative. The objective is to ensure that the Union, States and municipalities operate under continuous coordination, with integrated action units and performance standards.
According to the rapporteur, the current model, created in 1988, has become insufficient given the transnationality of criminal factions and militias, which today exercise dominance over approximately 25% to 30% of the Brazilian population in vulnerable areas.
The text also constitutionalizes the FNSP (National Public Security Fund) and Funpen (National Penitentiary Fund). To support the new police structure, the PEC establishes guidelines for the division of resources allocated to the funds.
The project determines that the Union is obliged to transfer 50% of the resources from the National Public Security Fund to the States and the Federal District. The transfer will become automatic, regardless of agreements. Furthermore, the PEC prohibits the contingency of these funds by the federal government, ensuring that the money collected from bets and lotteries is not used to reduce the fiscal deficit. The proposal also aims to increase the amount for security forces to R$6 billion.
