If passed, the law will expose assets of the Catholic Church and other religious organisations, including Jehovah's Witnesses, to potential legal action from abuse victims and any class action lawsuits.
Religious entities would be required to nominate a proper defendant that can be sued and to keep it adequately funded or insured to cover the costs of any claim or judgement. This also means the "faithful and discreet slave" can be sued despite being a so-called 'theological arrangement'.
If they fail to voluntarily identify an entity, the property trusts operated by the 'church' would be automatically nominated as responsible for defending any lawsuit. This means that if the "faithful and discreet slave" don't answer the summons to court, like they failed to answer back in 2011 in the Magistrates' Court of Victoria, Australia, then the trust holders of the various kingdom halls and assembly halls can be nominated.
These laws will circumvent the current structure of Jehovah's Witnesses which removes the Watchtower corporation from liability as shown in illustration below.
