The bill establishes a supplemental anatomical gift education program aimed at increasing awareness and registration for organ, tissue, and eye donation among adult applicants for driver's licenses and Minnesota identification cards. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically sections 171.06 and 171.075, to introduce a credit system for individuals who complete the education program. This credit amounts to 50% of the applicable fee for a new or renewal driver's license or identification card, with certain exclusions. The program will require at least one hour of instruction, knowledge testing, and the issuance of a completion certificate.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner in implementing the education program, including collaborating with nonprofit organizations to design and administer the curriculum. The curriculum will cover essential topics such as the donation process, relevant Minnesota laws, and personal experiences related to organ donation. The bill also specifies that the anatomical gift account will fund the education program, alongside grants for organizations advocating for organ donation. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2026.
