On 30 June 2024, a Legislative Decree came into force that introduced important changes to national legislation on disability.

This decree is the latest of several recent legislative decrees implementing the 2021 delegation law on disability, which were necessary to adapt the Italian legal system to United Nations and EU guidance on the rights of persons with disabilities.

The implementing legislative decrees published to date are the following:

  • a decree regarding the redevelopment of public services for inclusion and accessibility;
  • a decree establishing the National Guarantor Authority for the rights of persons with disabilities; and
  • the June 2024 decree, which defines the condition of disability and outlines the basic assessment, the multidimensional assessment, and reasonable accommodations.
