Italian parliamentary committees have approved a series of amendments to the Milleproroghe decree, a package of urgent measures extending various legal terms, with a focus on construction, finance and labor regulations. The changes, approved by the joint Affairs Constitutional and Budget Committees of the Chamber of Deputies on February 16th, are now moving toward a vote in the full Chamber, anticipated for Friday morning, followed by a confidence vote on Monday, according to reports from Adnkronos and Repubblica.
A key amendment extends deadlines for building permits, SCIA (certified start of activity notifications), environmental authorizations, and landscaping agreements issued through December 31, 2025, by an additional 48 months. This effectively prolongs existing extensions initiated with the 2022 Ukraine decree, bringing the total extension period to four years, as detailed by Rinnovabili.it. The move aims to address delays in the construction sector.
In the financial sector, amendments address the “rottamazione quater” debt forgiveness program, allowing individuals who missed a November 30th payment to settle their debt by February 28, 2026 – effectively March 9th, accounting for weekends – and be readmitted to the program. Though, this provision only applies to those who missed the second installment, excluding others who have fallen behind on payments, Adnkronos reported.
The decree also includes provisions for local authorities, extending the deadline for adjusting their social security contributions to December 31, 2026. Resolutions regarding the municipal waste tax (TARI) for 2025 will be considered valid if entered into the fiscal federalism portal by March 6th.
Labor provisions within the Milleproroghe decree include the extension of incentives for hiring disadvantaged women, young people, and workers over 35 in designated Special Economic Zones (ZES).
Eleven amendments were presented by the rapporteurs – Mauro D’Attis, Giovanni Luca Cannata, Simona Bordonali, and Alessandro Colucci – to the committees, as reported by Repubblica. The decree is then scheduled to proceed to the Senate for final approval.
While the initial examination of amendments did not include any direct temporal adjustments affecting renewable energy sources, the committees are expected to review amendments from rapporteurs later this week, according to Rinnovabili.it.
