The Empoli City Council has recently addressed various local administrative and social issues. On October 13, 2026, the council unanimously approved a motion to implement tools for combating substance abuse and gambling addiction. During the same session, a motion to promote equal parental leave was passed with support from several parties, though it faced opposition from Fratelli d'Italia and Empoli del Fare.

Following these measures, the council scheduled a meeting for October 26, 2026, to discuss a range of municipal matters. The upcoming agenda includes legal expenses, road maintenance on via del Terrafino, the sanitary conditions of the municipal swimming pool, and flood risk management. Other topics for discussion include the ‘HOPE – Home of People and Equality’ urban innovation project and the establishment of a new headquarters for the Municipal Police.
