Nova Investida Contra a Legislação Fundiária

The briefing analyzes Bill (PL) No. 510/2021, which seeks to modify Law No. 11.952/2009 regarding the regularization of land holdings on federal public lands in Brazil. The authors argue that the bill facilitates land grabbing and illegal deforestation by relaxing requirements for land regularization, extending simplified titling procedures to larger properties, and weakening environmental safeguards. It specifically highlights that PL No. 510/2021 allows individuals who already own rural property or have previously benefited from agrarian reform to regularize additional land, and permits those who sell their titles to benefit from such programs again.

• Bill (PL) No. 510/2021 is described as a near-duplicate of a previous report by Senator Irajá on Provisional Measure (MP) No. 910/2019, and it aims to modify Law No. 11.952/2009 by altering timeframes, easing regularization requirements, and weakening environmental protections.
• The proposed legislation introduces new provisions that specifically benefit medium and large landholders and speculators, such as allowing land regularization for those who already own other rural properties or have previously participated in agrarian reform programs.
• PL No. 510/2021 proposes that beneficiaries who transfer or sell their land titles may still be eligible for future agrarian reform or land regularization programs, which the authors argue encourages the continued occupation of public lands.
• The bill extends the simplified titling process—which relies on self-declaration and remote sensing without on-site inspection—to properties up to 2,500 hectares, which the document claims facilitates fraud and benefits larger occupants.
• The document asserts that the changes proposed in PL No. 510/2021 incentivize the invasion of public forests and promote illegal deforestation and land grabbing (grilagem).
