Overview

  • The Senate approved the PEC da Segurança Pública in two rounds with 73 votes in the first and 75 in the second, clearing the amendment for formal promulgação after votes held on Tuesday, November 3.
  • Lawmakers voted 38–36 to strip competing amendments on reducing the age of criminal responsibility from the PEC and to have those proposals processed as separate constitutional bills.
  • The approved text constitutionalizes the Sistema Único de Segurança Pública (SUSP), expands federal coordination with states and municipalities, and broadens Police Federal and PRF powers for interstate and multimodal investigations.
  • The PEC imposes tougher rules for leaders and members of criminal organizations, including mandatory placement in maximum-security regimes, limits on regime progression, and authorization for asset confiscation without indemnity.
  • New financing rules guarantee transfers of 50% of FNSP and Funpen resources to states and municipalities and reserve 10% of Fundo Social surplus for security funds while the relator removed a bets revenue link to those funds.
