Overview

  • The Senate approved the PEC da Segurança Pública in two rounds, winning 73 votes in the first and 75 in the second on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and the text will be promulgated by Congress without presidential sanction.
  • Lawmakers voted 38–36 to strip competing amendments on lowering the age of criminal responsibility from the PEC and to process them as separate constitutional proposals, so the maioridade debate can be fast‑tracked but will not alter the approved text unless later passed.
  • The PEC inserts the Sistema Único de Segurança Pública (SUSP) into the Constitution and increases federal coordination with states and municipalities by expanding explicit roles for the Federal Police and the Federal Highway Police and by authorizing accredited municipal civil police under set standards.
  • It imposes stricter rules for members and leaders of criminal organizations, including requirements for maximum‑security confinement, limits on regime progression and the possibility of expropriating assets tied to crime without indemnity.
  • The amendment creates binding funding rules by mandating transfer of 50% of FNSP and Funpen resources to subnational governments and directing 10% of the Fundo Social surplus to security funds, a change that raises implementation and budgetary coordination questions for states, municipalities and federal agencies.
