Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2017-06-15.
The bill updates the Corporations Act 2001 to require companies to include members' email addresses in their register of members, reflecting modern communication methods.
It would amend the register requirements so that, in addition to the member's name and address, an email address must be recorded.
The change would take effect the day after the bill receives Royal Assent, and it does not alter existing protections for register inspection and use.
- The bill adds email addresses to the mandatory information in the register of members.
- The bill aligns the Corporations Act 2001 with modern communication practices.
- The bill preserves existing protections for the inspection and use of register information.
