Two years have now passed since the approval of Law No. 112/2016, better known as the "After Us" law, which took place on 14/06/2016.
A law enacted in implementation of constitutional principles, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which introduced new public (welfare fund) and private (liberal donations) instruments into our legal system in cash or in kind, insurance policies, the establishment of trusts and/or destination restrictions pursuant to Article 2645-ter of the Italian Civil Code, the establishment of special funds) aimed at promoting deinstitutionalisation processes, avoiding isolation and allowing the implementation of "programs of life” suitable to satisfy the needs of all those who find themselves in a condition of disability, who have already been left without family support or in view of the loss of this. In particular, considerable tax breaks have been provided for those initiatives aimed at guaranteeing the protection of those who, pursuant to art. 3, paragraph 3, of Law no. 104/1992 are in a state of "serious disability" that has been ascertained by the appropriate medical commissions at the local health units.
It is a law whose concrete and effective implementation would give a significant boost to our welfare system; however, although there are numerous associations involved in the planning and activation of life projects, there are few that have already been implemented in accordance with the law and not all regions have yet issued calls for tenders for the devolution of the resources allocated by the Fund's division National.
