Security PEC Relator Unveils Final Draft, Targets Committee Vote on Dec. 10

Overview

• Mendonça Filho presented the final report to party leaders after negotiations stalled over criminal age proposals, federal–state competencies, police duties and potential municipal burdens.
• The special committee is expected to vote on the text on Wednesday, with the chair working to take the measure to the House floor next week.
• The draft seeks to curb the original push for federal centralization and to emphasize state prerogatives, while making the National Security Council consultative.
• The text keeps the Unified Public Security System in the Constitution, expands Federal Police prerogatives and allows Military Police to register minor-offense reports.
• The report outlines tougher sentence-progression rules for defined “supercrimes” such as qualified homicide, rape followed by death and leadership of criminal factions, while the relator stresses the PEC focuses on data-sharing and police interoperability rather than creating penalties.
