Tramita in the Federal Senate one Senate Bill (PLS) 381/2017 which allows environmental regularization of plots situated in land reform settlements and areas up to a fiscal module through environmental compensation.
According to information provided by the Senate, according to the proposal, the percentage of legal reserve for rural settlement areas will be defined by the date of its implementation and fractionation, observing for that reason the legislation in force at the time.
Unless collective legal reserve for the settlement is constituted, the environmental regularization will be carried out in an individualized way for each lot that composes the settlement. All assessments and environmental embargoes applied in rural settlements involving infractions committed before May 2012, are automatically suspended, considering the lack of environmental liabilities.
For the author of the proposal, Senator Cidinho Santos (PR-MT), there are about 9,300 rural settlement projects created by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) throughout the country. Of these, 8,700 have more than five years of establishment, covering approximately 977,039 families of agrarian reform settlers, which, according to the senator, will benefit from the approval of PLS 381/2017.
The text is processed in the Committee on the Environment (CMA), under the rapporteur of Senator Acir Gurgacz (PDT-RO). The proposal was also distributed to the Committee on Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (CRA), where it will be analyzed in a terminating manner.
