In Mato Grosso do Sul, a bill is moving through the Legislative Assembly (ALEMS) to establish a State Policy for Sports Refereeing Security. The proposed law aims to implement mandatory preventive measures and standardized safety checklists for venues, covering aspects such as access control, lighting, and emergency exits.

Under the legislation, event organizers would be responsible for providing secure environments, including exclusive locker rooms and adequate parking. Additionally, the bill would grant referees the authority to interrupt or terminate matches if there is an ‘imminent risk to their physical integrity,’ while protecting them from professional retaliation such as fines or loss of pay.
