Alcolumbre explains that it will be voted on as follows:

The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), says that the discussion on the Public Security PEC cannot take place at this time because the rapporteur is not present and the report is not yet in the system. Therefore, the agenda was reversed.
"I will submit to the table all the other matters that have no disagreement so far. While we wait for the rapporteur, I will reverse the agenda and vote on all other (topics) until the rapporteur returns", said Alcolumbre.
Good morning! The Senate is expected to vote this Tuesday (3) on the Public Security PEC, considered a priority by the Lula government.
The vote, initially scheduled for before the 2nd round of elections, was postponed due to an impasse over amendments presented in the Senate that propose reducing the age of criminal responsibility.
The government defends that the topic be discussed separately from the PEC, which needs the support of at least 49 senators, in two rounds, to be approved.
