Overview

• Sports and Communications committees issued majority reports on four unified proposals to amend Law 26.573.
• Leaders from the COA, COPAR and CAD, along with Olympic and Paralympic medalists, testified in favor of the reform during a joint hearing.
• The plan would shift ENARD financing back to a 1% charge on mobile phone billing and TIC services rather than annual national budget allocations.
• Proponents argue the model would provide predictable resources and a more federal governance structure through a proposed Federal Council without burdening the Treasury.
• ENARD’s levy-based funding began in 2009 and was replaced in 2017 by reliance on the Treasury, which the sports community says reduced resources and planning capacity.
