Tons of ridiculous Italian laws get proposed, most of them don't pass. This is one of the many ways politicians in Italy waste time and money.
Of course, even if this doesn't pass, Italy is still in a very sad state of affairs. Italy's keeping company to Burkina Faso on the Freedom of Press Index. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index ].
The problem stems from the godlike power given to Italian judges and politicians. Want a pertinent example? How about Giuliano Mignini, now internationally renowned for his demented control of the Meridith Kercher investigation.
This following letter was by the Committee to Protect Journalists to the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano. It highlights several very grave abuses of power committed by Mignini in the past.

Logic, much?
Freak.
