Senate Rapporteur Keeps Chamber’s Text of Security PEC
Senator Rogério Carvalho, the rapporteur for Brazil's public-security constitutional amendment in the Senate, announced a favorable report without a single change to the Chamber's text. The decision avoids sending the proposal back to the deputies and could put it on the Senate floor within weeks.

On 25 August 2026, Brazil's Senate rapporteur Rogério Carvalho announced that he will recommend approval of the security PEC (Public Security Constitutional Amendment) without any changes. This decision ensures the proposal goes directly to approval, bypassing a return to the Chamber of Deputies and preventing any delays. The reform aims to reorganize Brazil's security architecture through cooperation between the federal government, states, the Federal District, and municipalities.
It mandates the Unified Public Security System (Susp), establishes a National Public Security Fund and National Penitentiary Fund, and expands victims' rights. The Senate Committee may vote on the report next week during a concentrated effort. Approval requires two rounds and would lead to promulgation without presidential signature.
