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. This bill would enact Charlie's Law to require an electronic application for an original or renewal driver's license or identification card to contain a solicitation for the applicant to enroll in the National Marrow Donor Program's registry as a bone marrow or blood stem cell donor. The bill would provide that an applicant's election to enroll in the National Marrow Donor Program's registry constitutes consent to their information being transmitted to the National Marrow Donor Program for the purposes of completing enrollment in the registry. The bill would require the department to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the National Marrow Donor Program, as specified, and to transmit weekly specified applicant information to them. The bill would also make related findings and declarations.
