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

The briefing argues that PLV 22/2019 would undermine environmental regularization in Brazil by imposing an unfeasible three-day deadline for state agencies to finalize PRA adherence, potentially granting automatic environmental regularity and fine amnesty to thousands of rural properties.

• The Conversion Bill (PLV) 22/2019 proposes a deadline of December 31, 2020, for rural property owners to register in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) to maintain the right to join the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA). Once registered, owners must request adherence to the PRA within two years.
• PLV 22/2019 introduces a requirement that state agencies must summon property owners to sign a commitment term within three business days of a PRA adherence request. Failure to meet this deadline would result in the automatic environmental regularization of the property and grant the owner benefits such as amnesty from fines.
• The three-day deadline for summoning owners is described as 'totally unfeasible' because the commitment term is the final step of a long process. State agencies must first validate CAR information and analyze and approve the Degraded Area Recovery Project (PRADA) before the signature can occur.
• If approved without changes, PLV 22/2019 could lead to the immediate environmental regularization of thousands of rural properties across Brazil. This is because many owners have already requested PRA adherence, but state agencies are still in the CAR validation phase and cannot meet the three-day summons deadline.
