Be careful getting on the bus without a ticket: the fine can become really heavy, up to 200 euros. This is foreseen by the maneuver approved by the government a few days ago and of which Ansa has anticipated a draft. On the other hand, the 19% deduction for season ticket holders is in the balance, due to financial coverage problems. Among other innovations, the possibility that on-board checks are entrusted to personnel external to the transport company (auditor agents) while the squeeze on gaming winnings is confirmed given that taxation doubles from 6 to 12 percent. Provided cleaning services in schools. The possibility arrives for the Municipalities to make temporary hires as long as the costs are covered by a sponsor.
So let's start with the "urgent measures to combat tariff evasion" with fines of up to 200 euros for those without a ticket. "The managers of public transport services - it is written in the text - can entrust the prevention, verification and contestation of violations also to subjects not belonging to the manager's staff, who qualify as investigating agents“. Cameras inside the means of transport or on the docks can provide evidence of the escape.
The maneuver-bis therefore resumes one of the implementing decrees of the Madia reform, which remained pending after the rejection by the Constitutional Court. "Users of regional and local public transport services, exercised in any way, are required to obtain a valid travel document, to validate it at the beginning of the journey and at each single exit, if any, in compliance with the specific provisions set out in the manager, to keep it for the duration of the journey and to show it at the request of the investigating officers. For travel documents, the validation must be carried out, in compliance with the specific provisions set by the operator, on the occasion of each single access to the means of transport used", specifies the text.
The violation of the obligations “involves the application of a pecuniary sanction to be defined by regional law. In the absence of a regional law, the fine is equal to sixty times the value of the ordinary ticket and in any case not more than 200 euros".
Furthermore, they result the deductions for season tickets for public transport are in the balance. 19% deductions for subscriptions to local public transport services up to a maximum of 250 euros. It is one of the measures included in the entry text of the encore maneuver which, however, is still in the balance. The problems, as we learn, would be a cover. A similar intervention had been sponsored by the Ministry of Transport in the 2017 budget law. However, the hypothesis had not had any luck even then due to lack of resources.
Always in the maneuver comes for Municipalities, the possibility of hiring, seasonal fixed-term contracts, if the cost will be paid "entirely" by a sponsor or a collaboration agreement with a private entity. It is one of the innovations foreseen in one of the latest drafts of the maneuver approved on Tuesday by the CDM. By way of derogation from the hiring freeze, the law provides that hiring is aimed only at additional services to the ordinary ones. The hiring procedures must be "naturally competitive with public evidence".
They are contracts for cleaning services and maintenance of the decorum and functionality of school buildings extended until 31 August. The "beautiful schools" rule is provided for in the draft of the maneuver. The device aims to guarantee "the regular conclusion of the educational activities of the school year in environments where suitable hygienic-sanitary conditions are guaranteed. The maintenance of the existing employment and salary levels is envisaged, applying the Consip award agreements.
Finally, doubles from 6 to 12% the levy that the State operates on winnings over 500 euros. The latest draft maneuver in circulation provides for it. It also increases the withdrawal (Preu) on slots and video lotteries (the new generation slots). As regards slots (the so-called 'paragraph 6a) it passes to 18,5% while for VLTs (the 'paragraph 6b) it is fixed at 6%.
