A municipal law in Rio Branco, Brazil, known as law No. 2,662, has been enacted to prohibit the support, promotion, and hiring of shows and events directed toward young audiences that advocate for organized crime, drug use, or violence. This regulation was established as a means to protect children and adolescents from exposure to harmful content during public events.

The law, which was approved in September of the previous year, emphasizes that any public administration in the municipality is forbidden from contracting, sponsoring, or supporting artistic performances or events open to young people's attendance if they include themes that glorify organized crime, drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, or any other behavior categorized as possible criminal acts. This measure aims to foster a safer environment for youth at public gatherings.

The introduction of the law reflects a growing concern regarding the cultural influences surrounding the youth, particularly in events where harmful messages could be disseminated. As this law takes effect, it is anticipated to hold public event organizers accountable while aiming to uphold community standards that promote the well-being of the younger population.
