Nova Investida Contra a Legislação Fundiária

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes Bill (PL) No. 510/2021, which proposes modifications to Law No. 11.952/2009 regarding the land regularization of federal public lands. The document argues that the bill repeats setbacks from the expired Provisional Measure (MP) No. 910/2019 and introduces new provisions that benefit medium and large landholders and speculators, potentially incentivizing illegal deforestation and land grabbing (grilagem).

• Bill (PL) No. 510/2021 is described as a near-duplicate of Senator Irajá's second report on the now-expired Provisional Measure (MP) No. 910/2019. It seeks to modify Law No. 11.952/2009 by altering the timeframes for regularization, easing requirements, and weakening environmental safeguards.
• PL No. 510/2021 introduces new provisions that specifically benefit medium and large landholders and land speculators. These include allowing land regularization for individuals who already own other rural properties, those who have previously benefited from land reform or regularization programs, and allowing those who have sold or traded their titles to benefit from such programs again.
• The document asserts that the proposed changes to land legislation incentivize the illegal occupation of public lands, including forests, by signaling that laws may be changed in the future to legalize such invasions. This process is seen as a reward for those committing environmental crimes.
• The briefing highlights a trend of constant instability in land legislation over the last five years, noting the issuance of at least two provisional measures, one law, three decrees, and three Incra normative instructions to alter Law No. 11.952/2009.
• The analysis compares PL No. 510/2021 with Law No. 11.952/2009 and PL No. 2633/2020, noting that the proposed extension of simplified titling procedures to properties up to 2,500 hectares facilitates fraud and benefits larger occupants.
