Brazil’s Lower House Committee Approves National Registry of Property Invasions

The bill now goes to the Senate after a 37–15 vote, proposing integration with the national public security database.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies’ Constitution and Justice Committee approved a substitute text creating the National Registry of Property Invasions (CNIP).
  • The registry will be integrated into Sinesp and record property identifiers, ownership or possession status, and police reports on each incident.
  • Occurrence records must note the identification of involved persons, including indicators for minors, Indigenous people, or individuals carrying weapons.
  • Implementation details such as credentials for registering and consulting data will be set later by regulation.
  • The measure advances under conclusive procedure to the Senate unless a formal appeal forces a floor vote, with backers citing crime deterrence and an opposition lawmaker arguing it criminalizes social movements.
