PROJETO DE LEI DE CONVERSÃO DA MPV 884/2019 INVIABILIZA A REGULARIZAÇÃO AMBIENTAL DE PROPRIEDADES RURAIS

The briefing analyzes the impacts of PLV 22/2019 on the Brazilian Forest Code and the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA). It warns that a proposed three-day deadline for state agencies to call landowners to sign commitment terms is practically impossible due to the complex validation process of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). If passed without changes, the bill could lead to the automatic environmental regularization of thousands of properties and the amnesty of fines, bypassing the required recovery of degraded areas.

• PLV 22/2019 proposes that rural property owners must register in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) by December 31, 2020, to maintain the right to join the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA), with the PRA application required within two years of CAR registration.
• The bill introduces a requirement for state agencies to summon landowners to sign a commitment term within three business days of a PRA application; failure to meet this deadline would result in the property being deemed environmentally regular and grant benefits such as fine amnesty.
• The three-day deadline is considered unfeasible because the signature of the commitment term is the final step of a long process that includes CAR information validation and the analysis and approval of the Degraded Area Recovery Project (PRADA).
• If approved without amendments, the bill would cause the immediate environmental regularization of thousands of rural properties across Brazil, as state agencies are currently still in the CAR validation phase and cannot meet the proposed deadline.
