Rule Changes

As of September 2026: Authored the decree's language

Italy's cabinet approved a decree-law on Sept. 24 that bans face coverings in schools and caps at 30% the share of first-year students with weak Italian in any one class. The text still needs President Sergio Mattarella's signature; it is due at the Quirinale on Sept. 28 after funding was settled. Parliament then has 60 days to ratify the decree or it lapses.
