Mato Grosso Legislative Assembly processes various state bills

The Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT) has advanced several legislative initiatives. A proposal for a School Material Card (CME) passed its second vote, aiming to provide over 300,000 state students with vouchers to purchase supplies from local businesses.

Other significant developments include a bill by Max Russi to allow taxpayers to consolidate multiple tax debts into a single negotiation, and a proposal by Governor Otaviano Pivetta to classify criminal factions as terrorist organizations to enhance security protocols. Additionally, the assembly discussed the 2027 Budget Guidelines Law (PLDO), focusing on protecting social resources for mental health and women's rights.

In health policy, a new thematic chamber was established to address obesity and improve access to post-bariatric reconstructive surgeries. Meanwhile, the assembly rejected a proposal to facilitate firearm access for women with protective orders, citing constitutional limits on state jurisdiction over weapons regulation.
