Discussion of the potential unconstitutionality of the proposed GV law changes

It may to premature to even discuss this rumour. It sounds like this is a backstop idea being tossed around by the government in case their original plan is rejected (as it should be).

I would want to be careful to make sure that we have equivalent terms and rights under any such new D2 as are existing under the ARI.

For example, adding a provision to the D2 law something to the effect:
any person (including those under family reunification) originally granted residence under Article 90-A are exempted from the stay requirements pursuant to 65c (as it existed as of Jan 1 2023) and such persons (including those under family reunification) qualify for a permanent resident permit for those who have held a Golden Visa (or equivalent under D2) for at least 5 years pursuant to Article 65-K of Regulatory Decree no. 9/2018 11 September (as it existed as of Jan 1, 2023).

Edit: to be clear, Article 80 of the law of 2007 grants Permanent Residence. Article 65-k is important because it eliminates the stay requirements for GV with respect to Permanent residence. If they don’t include 65-k provisions into the D2 law, then those would be lost. Sorry, i was in a hurry.
