Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
Donors are taken to have consented to the use of their gametes or embryos for family completion provisions; they can still modify or withdraw this consent.
ART providers cannot use a donor's gametes or embryos if it would result in more than 5 families in the ACT or 10 families in Australia.
ART providers must include all information kept under section 48 when providing mandatory donor information.
Certain rules for gametes and embryos do not apply if they were allocated or used to create a pregnancy before the end of the transitional period.
