This Bill amends the Human Tissue and Transplant Act 1982 to increase organ donation registration rates by requiring WA adults applying for or renewing their driver's licence to indicate their organ donation intentions.
Impact
Western Australian adults applying for or renewing driver's licences will be affected. It aims to increase organ donation registration, potentially saving more lives through transplantation.
Key Changes
["Requires driver's licence applications (written or electronic) to include a statement regarding organ/tissue donation.", "The CEO (responsible for licensing) cannot grant a driver's licence to applicants over 18 who haven't responded to the organ donation question.", "Authorises the CEO to disclose applicant details to the Australian Organ Donor Register if the applicant indicates a willingness to register or believes they are already registered."]
