This 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 to provide a 50% fee credit for individuals who complete the education program, which is designed to be accessible through both in-person and online formats. The program will require a minimum of one hour of instruction, knowledge testing, and the issuance of a completion certificate. The curriculum will cover essential information about the donation process, relevant Minnesota laws, and personal experiences related to donation.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing statutes regarding fees for driver's licenses and identification cards, including the introduction of a $2.25 surcharge that will be allocated to the driver and vehicle services technology account. It also specifies that the anatomical gift account will receive funds from various sources, including donations and grants, to support the education program and related initiatives. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2026.
