Brazilian council members propose local service and advertising regulations

In Votuporanga, São Paulo, Councilman Glauber Lima has proposed that the municipal government study the creation of an attendance award for public servants. The initiative aims to recognize employees who maintain regular attendance and punctuality, while simultaneously seeking to reduce absenteeism within public services.

In Campina Grande, Councilwoman Waléria Assunção has introduced a bill to prohibit advertising for betting and gambling on the public transportation system. The proposal covers buses, terminals, stations, and stops, targeting digital media, electronic panels, and bus wraps. The measure seeks to protect vulnerable populations, including children and adolescents, from constant exposure to gambling platforms. The bill includes penalties such as fines and contract rescission for non-compliance.
