The Senate on Monday resumed
work on the 2020 budget bill, which the government is set to put
to a confidence vote later in the day.
Premier Giuseppe Conte's executive has presented a so-called
'maxi-amendment' package of changes, including some made by the
Senate's budget committee.
A number of measures were declared inadmissible by the
Speaker, including the liberalization of so-called cannabis
light - hemp flowers and products that have an extremely low
level of the psychoactive compound in normal marijuana that
makes people high.
A 'tobin tax' of 0.04% on some online financial transactions
has been binned too.
