Professionals must join professional associations within six months

The Asturias Law 3/2026 requires professional colleges to join professional associations under Article 31.2 of the Statute approved by Organic Law 7/1981 of December 30. This measure aims to strengthen collective representation and coordination among professionals. The obligation is set within the framework of Law 2/1974 of February 13 and applies to all professional colleges in the Principality.

In 2 key points

  1. Professional colleges must include the figure of professional associations in their statutes (art. 31.2 del Estatuto aprobado por Ley Orgánica 7/1981)
  2. The update must be completed within three months from the date of entry into force (art. 4)

How it affects those involved

Professional colleges in Asturias must revise their statutes to include professional associations, leading to internal structural changes and a review of governance processes. Professional associations will gain greater influence over college management. A strict three-month deadline applies with no room for delay.
