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 include a new provision that allows adult applicants to receive a credit of 50% off the fee for a new or renewal driver's license or identification card upon completion of the education program. The credit is applicable only if the applicant submits a course completion certificate and does not apply to instruction permits, commercial learner's permits, provisional licenses, or duplicate credentials.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for the supplemental education program, which must include a minimum of one hour of instruction, knowledge testing, and the issuance of completion certificates. The program will be developed in collaboration with nonprofit organizations specializing in organ donation, and it will cover essential topics such as Minnesota laws on anatomical gifts and common misconceptions about the donation process. The effective date for these changes is set for January 1, 2026.
