Grilagem à vista: parecer do Senador Carlos Fávaro aprova mudanças na lei fundiária

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes the legislative report by Senator Carlos Fávaro regarding Bill (PL) no 510/2021 and Bill (PL) no 2633/2020, which propose changes to land regularization laws. The authors argue that the Senator's report favors medium and large land occupants while failing to improve conditions for small farmers, potentially incentivizing illegal deforestation and land grabbing.

• Senator Carlos Fávaro's legislative report, presented on December 8, 2021, supports the constitutionality and legality of PL no 510/2021 (derived from Provisional Measure MP no 910/2019) while dismissing PL no 2633/2020, which was considered a milder alternative with greater convergence.
• The proposed changes specifically benefit medium and large occupants of public lands through several mechanisms: extending the time frame for occupations to at least December 2016 for those able to pay the maximum land price set by Incra; expanding self-declaratory procedures without on-site inspections to properties up to 15 fiscal modules (which can reach 1,500 hectares in the Amazon); removing limits that prevent previous beneficiaries of regularization programs from receiving new titles; and allowing illegal deforesters to regularize land without committing to environmental liabilities, as the report only requires joining the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) for areas already fined—which accounts for less than 1% of illegal deforestation in the Amazon.
• The report does not improve the situation for small farmers, as the occupation time frame remains July 22, 2008, for those unable to pay the maximum land price. Furthermore, the self-declaration process for properties up to 4 fiscal modules remains unchanged as it is already permitted by current law, and the barriers to titling for this group are attributed to public management deficiencies rather than a lack of regulation.
• The potential impacts of approving PL no 510/2021 include the incentivization of new illegal occupations and deforestation of public forests due to signals that the time frame may change again; an increase in agrarian conflicts because benefits are limited to medium and large occupants; and the regularization of properties between 400 and 1,500 hectares without on-site inspections to verify legal requirements, effective use, environmental damage, or land conflicts.
