The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1170c, which mandates the development of a model presentation on organ, eye, and tissue donation and transplantation programs by January 1, 2026. This initiative will be carried out by the department in consultation with various third parties, including the state's federally designated organ procurement organization. The presentation is required to be concise, not exceeding one class period, and must include information about the Michigan organ donor registry.

Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, school districts and public school academies are encouraged to provide this model presentation to students before they complete grade 9. Additionally, the bill stipulates that if a student's parent or legal guardian requests it in writing, the student must be excused from attending the presentation without facing any penalties.
