In the Senate, PL Antifaction must go through committee; see next steps

Approved in Chamber of Deputies with votes against the government, the PL (Bill) Anti-Faction will now be analyzed by Senate. In the House, the Executive’s ally base is betting on greater margin for negotiating changes.

The text must be processed quickly. How to CNN Brazil showed, . He was appointed to the role on Tuesday (18), even before the text had been approved by deputies.

Vieira aims for a “consensus text”, which overcomes possible doubts regarding legislative technique. He defended “putting the ball in the ground” to resolve problems with the proposal.

His intention is to negotiate with the government, opposition, state representatives and the Chamber. On Tuesday, the senator already had a conversation with the president of the Chamber, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB).

Among the adjustments, government officials expect changes to avoid the possible decapitalization of the PF (Federal Police). The text approved in the Chamber was the version of the rapporteur, deputy Guilherme Melts (PP-SP), which displeased government allies.

In the Senate, unlike the Chamber, the text must undergo analysis by at least one committee, that is, it must not go directly to a vote in the plenary. President of CCJ (Constitution and Justice Commission)the senator Otto Alencar (PSD-BA) stated that the project must be discussed in a public hearing before going to a vote in the collegiate body.

“We will hold a public hearing to listen to the Public Ministry, Civil Police, Federal Police, all those who are involved to present a letter of law to Brazil, which can combat organized crime”, said the senator in a video published on social media.

The government’s original proposal reached the Chamber in early November. The text is being processed with constitutional urgency, as requested by the Executive.

This means that each legislative House has a maximum period of 45 days to analyze the proposal. If it undergoes changes on the merits in the Senate, the text will need to return to the Chamber for analysis.
