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

The briefing evaluates MP nº 1.150/2022, which proposes shifting the PRA adherence process from producer-led initiative to a government-led summons. While the first report is deemed acceptable as it aligns with state realities, the second report is criticized for introducing legal uncertainty through the use of the term 'validation'. Additionally, the document warns that extending CAR registration deadlines for medium and large properties may further delay the implementation of the 2012 Forest Code.

• The original 2012 Forest Code required producers to take the initiative to join the PRA, but MP nº 1.150/2022 proposes that adherence be requested within 180 days after a summons from the competent body. This change is considered acceptable because it reflects the actual state-level implementation process, where producers are typically summoned only after their CAR data has been analyzed.
• 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. The document notes that 'validation' is not a term used in the Forest Code and that the competent bodies perform analysis, not validation, creating potential for divergent interpretations.
• Neither the original MP nor the reports establish sanctions for producers who fail to join the PRA within the 180-day window. Without penalties such as CAR suspension or loss of the right to join the PRA, the incentive to comply with the law is diminished.
• The proposed Conversion Bill (PLV) extends CAR registration deadlines to December 31, 2023, for properties larger than four fiscal modules, and to December 31, 2024, for smaller properties. The analysis argues that while small farmers and traditional communities may need assistance, extending deadlines for medium and large properties discourages producers and delays legal implementation.
• Implementation of the PRA has been slow across Brazil; as of the report, only 15 states have effectively regulated the program, and only seven have implemented it. Delays are attributed to a lack of political priority, issues with the National Rural Environmental Registry System (SICAR), and technological challenges.
