The decision comes in response to a request from the Attorney General's Office, which argued that more time was needed to consult with stakeholders and ensure a thorough review of the proposed changes. The previous deadline was set to expire on August 12th, but the extension now provides until August 22nd for the relevant parties to reach an agreement. The new rules are intended to streamline the amendment process and prevent the abuse of constitutional provisions, particularly in cases where amendments are proposed for partisan or personal gain. The STF's decision reflects its commitment to maintaining the integrity and stability of the Brazilian Constitution while allowing for necessary updates and revisions.
