NOTA TÉCNICA RELATOR DA MP 910/2019 FLEXIBILIZA AINDA MAIS A REGULARIZAÇÃO FUNDIÁRIA

The briefing analyzes the legislative report by Senator Irajá Abreu regarding MP 910/2019, which seeks to alter the legal framework for land regularization on federal public lands in Brazil. The authors argue that the report exacerbates the original MP's flaws by favoring medium and large landowners, reducing environmental oversight on illegally deforested areas, and maintaining a misalignment between land and environmental policies. Specifically, it highlights the expansion of self-declaration for land regularization up to 2,500 hectares and the removal of mandatory inspections for areas under environmental embargo. The document recommends the rejection of the report to prevent the legitimization of land grabbing and illegal deforestation.

• The rapporteur's proposed changes to MP 910/2019 significantly favor medium and large land occupants over small farmers through several mechanisms: extending self-declaration regularization (without on-site inspection) to areas up to 2,500 hectares, allowing legal entities to apply for regularization, permitting existing rural property owners to acquire new properties through the program, removing the requirement for direct exploitation of the area, and expanding fee exemptions for registration and the Rural Property Certificate (CCIR) to areas up to 2,500 hectares.
• The report weakens public control over illegally deforested areas by removing the obligation for occupants to declare if a property is under environmental embargo and excluding properties with environmental infractions or embargos from the list of those requiring mandatory inspection.
• The rapporteur proposes a land regularization cutoff date of May 25, 2012, which the authors argue fails to align with environmental policy because the 2012 Forest Code sets July 22, 2008, as the reference date for environmental regularization of consolidated areas. Furthermore, the report maintains the possibility of regularizing illegal occupations made as recently as December 10, 2018.
