Editing Decree (section)

==Italy==
{{main|Law of Italy}}
According to clause 77 of the [[Italian Constitution]],

{{blockquote|
The Government may not, without an enabling act from the Houses [of Parliament], issue decrees having the force of ordinary law.

When in extraordinary cases of necessity and urgency the Government adopts provisional measures having the force of law, it must on the same day present said measures for confirmation to the Houses which, even if dissolved, shall be extraordinally summoned for this purpose and shall convene within five days.

The decrees lose effect from their inception if they are not confirmed within sixty days from their publication. The Houses may however regulate by law legal relationships arising out of unconfirmed decrees.}}

The effectiveness for sixty days produces the effects immediately, giving rights or expectations whose legal basis was precarious, especially when the conversion law never intervened.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Buonomo|first1=Giampiero|title=Sanatoria del condono decaduto: a favore dei centri di recupero ma a rischio di incostituzionalità|journal=Diritto&Giustizia Edizione Online|date=2000|url=https://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89286997|access-date=2016-03-17|archive-date=2012-08-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801002834/http://www.questia.com/projects#!/project/89286997|url-status=dead}}</ref>
