AI plain-language summary of the official text.
Bill PL 194 is a Quebec National Assembly private member's bill that would establish a presumed consent (opt-out) framework for organ and tissue donation after death. Under such a framework, deceased individuals would be considered to have consented to donation unless they had previously indicated otherwise. The bill was introduced in April 2023 and has passed adoption in principle as of June 2023, meaning the Assembly has agreed to its general orientation and it may proceed to further legislative stages.
