By 3 February 2019, the Volunteer Organizations (SB) and Social Promotion Associations (APS) that intend to register in the Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS) will be called to deliberate in the ordinary meeting (with the support of the notary, in case of recognized associations) the statutory amendments necessary to comply with the new requirements set by the Third Sector Code. Late adoption of the envisaged amendments will impose compliance with the qualified majorities required for statutory amendments.
In fact, the OdV and APS (articles 32 ss. Legislative Decree n.117/2017):
- they must be established in the form of an association (recognised or not);
- will have to adjust the number of their associates in accordance with the provisions of articles 32 and 35 of Legislative Decree n. 117/2017, or must be made up of no less than seven natural persons or three OdV/APS and, provided that their number does not exceed fifty per cent of that of the member OdV/APS, the admission as associates also of other ETS or non-profit organizations;
- if they exceed the limits established by the articles 30 and 31 Legislative Decree n. 117/2017, must provide for the appointment of a control body and/or a statutory auditor;
- their corporate name must necessarily contain the indication of "Volunteer Organisation"/"SB" or "Social Promotion Association"/"APS".
