Supplement the public interest activities carried out by the Italian Red Cross and revise the provisions of the Armed Forces Auxiliary Corps.

These are just some of the points contained in the Red Cross bill presented by Minister of Defence Crosetto and Minister of Health Schillaci, now definitively approved by the Chamber of Deputies with 156 votes in favour and 112 abstentions.

Among the novelties, professions such as veterinary medicine and dentistry will be able to be considered for voluntary work, while the chapter on the Foundation whose earnings will be devolved will be definitively closed. Finally, the government will be given new delegations.

The Way of the Law

Introduced on 3 December 2024 and approved on 28 May 2025 with 83 votes in favour and 52 abstentions, the bill concluded its parliamentary procedure today, receiving the final OK from the House.

From veterinarians to psychologists, new additions to the board

Dentists, veterinarians, biologists, physicists, chemists and psychologists are the new categories that will join the senior staff of the Military Volunteer Corps, expanding the number of professions with their entry.

Previously, only doctors, commissioners and pharmacists were included. With an amendment approved in the Senate, nurse managers were also added to the list.

Goodbye Foundation

The chapter of the 'Foundation for the Auxiliary Activities of the C.R.I. to the Armed Forces', created in April 2018, is closed. The liquidation procedure is now underway. The remaining assets will be devolved to the Red Cross.

Rejected, therefore, is the possibility of setting up a foundation, either with public or private entities, even if it is in the public interest.

Consequently, no agreement can be concluded with the Ministry of Defence for the financing of auxiliary activities of the Armed Forces.

The new proxies

Delegations to the government are foreseen to further intervene on the Italian Red Cross.

The first news concerns the arrival of the legislative decrees on the revision of the discipline of the voluntary military corps and the Red Cross Association's Red Cross Auxiliary Corps of the Armed Forces under the Code of Military Order.

Finally, Article 3, introduced in the Senate, grants two new delegations to the government to reformulate and scale down the provisions of the Military Code of Order.
