Summary

Existing law, the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, authorizes the creation of a not-for-profit entity to be designated as the California Organ and Tissue Donor Registrar and requires that entity to establish and maintain the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry for persons who have identified themselves as organ and tissue donors upon their death. Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon issuance of a new driver's license or a renewal of a driver's license or the issuance of an identification card, to provide information on organ and tissue donation. Existing law requires an application for an original or renewal driver's license or identification card to contain a space for the applicant to enroll in the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry and requires the application to include specified check boxes for an applicant to indicate whether to add the applicant's name to the registry. Existing law requires the back of the application to include a specified disclosure statement informing the applicant that by marking 'Yes' in the check boxes the applicant is legally authorizing the recovery of organs and tissues in the event of their death. This bill would require the back of the application to contain a statement informing the applicant that by registering as an organ donor or changing a prior donor decision, they are consenting to the department electronically transmitting the applicant's information, as specified, to Donate Life California.
