Argentina.- The governor of Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo, regulated yesterday, Thursday, October 10, the Law 9534, which allocates a percentage of the revenue collected from Gross Income of casinos and online games, services related to gambling and betting, to specific mental health programs. This bill was approved by the Mendoza Legislature in May.
Specifically, the initiative seeks to assign monthly 25 percent of the Gross Income tax revenue and allocate it to the Mental Health and Addictions programs implemented by the Ministry of Health and Sports of the province.
As explained by the government, this percentage represents a significant contribution and a boost to strengthen the actions carried out in the Mental Health Directorate and will begin to be implemented starting from the fiscal year 2025.
“The proposal reflects the commitment of the Government of Mendoza to address mental health and addiction issues from a comprehensive perspective, recognizing the importance of allocating specific resources to combat these problems,” Governor Cornejo assured.
