COMENTÁRIOS AO NOVO SUBSTITUTIVO DO PL Nº 2633/2020 QUE ALTERA AS REGRAS DE REGULARIZAÇÃO FUNDIÁRIA

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes a new substitute text for Bill PL nº 2633/2020, which proposes changes to land regularization rules in Brazil. The authors evaluate the proposal's impact on environmental safeguards, administrative procedures, and the alignment between land and environmental policies.

• The substitute text proposed by Deputy Bosco Saraiva maintains several parameters from PL nº 2633/2020, including time limits for occupation (July 22, 2008, for discounted payment and December 22, 2011, for non-discounted payment), eligibility requirements for occupants (natural persons or family cooperatives who are not owners and have not benefited from other regularization programs), and a simplified titling process via 'self-declaration' for properties up to 6 fiscal modules.
• The proposal introduces a requirement for the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) of the area to be 'ACTIVE' to prevent the use of fraudulent registries in the regularization process.
• The authors argue that environmental safeguards remain ineffective because environmental control relies solely on checking infringement notices and embargoes; since illegally occupied and deforested areas often lack titles and thus avoid such notices, regularization may reward environmental crimes.
• The substitute text creates an unjustified benefit for properties up to 6 fiscal modules by replacing the obligation to join the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA) or sign a Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC) with the simple presentation of a CAR, which the authors state misaligns land policy with environmental policy.
• The proposal requires Incra to consult other public administration bodies, such as the Brazilian Forest Service, Funai, and the Chico Mendes Institute, through the Technical Chamber for Destination and Land Regularization of Federal Rural Public Lands before defining areas for regularization.
