The bill does not alter any conditions or categories of goods, nor does it create new ones.
- Validates determinations made under subsection 174(1) of the Biosecurity Act 2015.
- Ensures these determinations are taken to have always been valid.
- Confirms that goods specified in the determinations are conditionally non-prohibited goods.
