De olhos abertos na MP nº 1.150/2022 que altera as regras de adesão ao Programa de Regularização Ambiental (PRA)

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes Provisional Measure (MP) nº 1.150/2022, which proposes changes to the rules for joining the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) and the deadlines for the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) in Brazil. The analysis compares the original MP text with two reports presented by Deputy Sergio Souza, highlighting risks of legal insecurity and the loss of incentives for environmental compliance.

• The implementation of the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) has been slow, with only 15 states having effectively regulated it and only seven having implemented it after more than 10 years of the Forest Code.
• MP nº 1.150/2022 proposes changing the PRA adherence process so that the property owner must request adherence within 180 days of being summoned by the competent body, shifting the role of protagonist from the producer to the state.
• The second report by Deputy Sergio Souza introduces legal insecurity by requiring that the summons for PRA adherence occur after the 'validation' of the CAR, a term that does not exist in the Forest Code and could lead to divergent interpretations.
• Neither the original MP nor the relator's reports establish sanctions for producers who fail to join the PRA within the 180-day window, which the CPI argues removes the incentive to comply with the law.
• The proposed Conversion Law Project (PLV) extends the CAR registration deadlines to December 31, 2023, for properties larger than four fiscal modules, and to December 31, 2024, for properties smaller than four fiscal modules.
