With a circular issued in the past few hours, the Ministry of the Interior is back on the theme of validity of weapon ports and in general the police titles following the extension of the state of emergency. The law already provided for an extension of expired licenses between 31/1 and 31/07/2020. With the approval of the last DL on the extension of the state of emergency (law n.159 of 27.1.2020), this extension also applies to expired measures between 1 August and 4 December 2020, if not renewed, extending their effectiveness to 29 July 2021 (90 days after the end of the state of emergency, currently set for 30 April 2021).
Particularly noteworthy is the passage on page 4 of the Circular, in which a criterion is established with which the legislator has resolved, without having to go back to the issue again, the question of further extensions of expiring administrative acts: "the legislator has definitively resolved, even for the future, the question of the extension of expiring administrative acts, which is linked to declaration of termination of the state of emergency and its possible deferrals. Whenever, in fact, it will be deferred, the administrative measures expiring will automatically be extended for 90 days following the same declaration of termination of the epidemiological state of emergency from Covid-19.
