Commentary on provisions of Act Section 2: Organ and tissue donation
Section 2 temporarily amends the procedure for making regulations under section 3(9A) of the Human Tissue Act 2004, as amended by the Organ and Tissue Donation (Deemed Consent) Act (Northern Ireland) 2022, defining "permitted material" for the purpose of transplantation in Northern Ireland. This would allow regulations to be made regarding rules for organ donation in the absence of a Presiding Officer and deputies in the Northern Ireland Assembly.
