A new six-month extension of the tax shield arrives which relieves public administrators from accounting responsibilities in the event of serious negligence
: the measure remains in force until 31 December 2024, as provided for by four amendments to the Milleproroghe decree, presented in identical form by the groups majority and approved, after the reformulation of the government, by the Budget and Constitutional Affairs commissions of the Chamber.
The measure introduced exceptionally during the pandemic period - and extended several times - to remedy the 'fear of signing', otherwise it would have expired at the end of June.
Opposition from the Association of Magistrates of the Court of Auditors
.
"The law that introduced the tax shield, already under scrutiny by the Council because it was suspected of being unconstitutional, was adopted in 2020, during the pandemic. Its further extension would be contradictory and unjustified, as, despite the end of the emergency period, it would have the effect of stabilizing the exclusion of the prosecution of seriously negligent conduct, exposing the country to the serious risk of waste of public money, opaque management of public contracts and the spread of malfeasance" we read in a note.
Green light during the night for the amendment on agricultural income tax
Green light during the night to the government's amendment on the cut in agricultural personal income tax for two years,
which exempts agricultural and land incomes up to 10,000 euros and reduces the amount to be paid by 50% for those between 10,000 and 15,000 EUR.
The amendment to the Milleproroghe decree, presented by the government, was approved by the Budget and Constitutional Affairs commissions which continued the examination during the night session.
However, the Democratic Party's amendment for total exemption from Irpef was rejected.
"The majority parties - denounce Simona Bonafè and Ubaldo Pagano who are following the measure in the commission of the Chamber - have bowed to the downward mediation proposed by the government which does not solve the problems. Lega and Fdi, which during the day stand as champions of the farmers, during the night they voted without hesitation for an amendment which has the sole effect of reducing resources for farmers", underline the Dem deputies, assuring that "the funds to finance our amendment were there: the decision was entirely political and internal to the majority ".

As foreseen by the amendments to the Milleproroghe decree, presented by FI, FdI, Pd and Iv and approved after the reformulation of the government by the Budget and Constitutional Affairs commissions of the Chamber, the punishment for those who negligently causes death or personal injury "in the exercise of a healthcare profession in situations of serious shortage of healthcare personnel".
For the purposes of the evaluation "the working conditions of the healthcare professional are taken into account, the extent of the human, material and financial resources actually available in relation to the number of cases to be treated, the organizational context in which the facts are committed as well as of the lower degree of experience and technical knowledge possessed by non-specialised personnel".
