Terrorism
Although the proposed amendments to the Constitution can be voted in extraordinary sessions, the agenda of the regular session is locked by two executive bills with constitutional urgency.
They regulate the fight against terrorism. The Bill 2016/15 typifies the crime of terrorism and establishes a penalty of 8 to 12 years and fine in a closed system, without prejudice to the penalties relating to other offenses arising from it.
The project classifies as terrorist organizations those driven by ideology reasons, politics, xenophobia, discrimination or prejudice based on race, color, ethnicity, religion or gender, and whose purpose is to cause terror, exposing the danger the person, heritage, safety public or public peace or coercing authorities to do or not to do something.
Same penalty will be applied to those who recruit or train and fund these organizations and their actions.
But the PL 2020/15 creates a kind of action, the Brazilian Justice for blocking assets, rights and values of object persons or companies in the Security Council resolution of the United Nations (UNSC). These locks are typically used to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

The move clears appended to PL 4566/08, the Participative Legislation Commission, which provides for the IPCA to correct the deposits of the fund, plus 3% annually since incidents.
In addition, this commission project intended to fund a fixed percentage of the average profitability of investments with its resources, in the order of 70%, and 50% of fines, monetary restatement and delay payment interest. A part of these funds should be credited to the escrow account of the employee.

The four proposals are authored by Budget Joint Commission (BMC), which is responsible for analyzing the annual Court of Audit report (TCU) on the budget execution statements of the federal government.
