Overview

  • The Sports and Communication & Informatics committees issued a majority report on September 24 backing the recovery of ENARD's administrative and financial autonomy.
  • The bill revises financing and resource management under Law 26.573, including a proposal to restore a 1% levy on mobile phone billing for direct ENARD funding.
  • The initiative outlines a federal scheme that would allocate nearly 40% of resources to provinces to strengthen clubs and social sport.
  • Leaders from the Argentine Olympic and Paralympic committees and several Olympic and Paralympic athletes attended the session, reflecting broad sector support.
  • Proponents say autarky is essential for long‑term planning and predictability, as the measure now moves forward for further debate in the Chamber.
