What changed in the latest version
11 added · 42 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to SB 660 adds a provision for the creation of a First Person Consent organ and tissue donor registry in Illinois. It allows the Secretary of State to offer people aged 18 and older the option to join the registry when they apply for or renew their driver’s license or ID, while clearly stating that participation is voluntary. This change is significant as it aims to simplify the process of becoming an organ donor, which could potentially increase the number of available organs for transplantation.
