This bill amends current law to ensure that individuals designated as organ donors on their driver's licenses or identification cards will maintain that designation upon renewal, unless they choose to remove it. Specifically, the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) is required to provide the opportunity to remove the organ donor designation during the renewal process. This change aims to streamline the organ donation process and encourage continued participation in organ donation programs.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the designation of organ donor status be displayed prominently on the license or identification card and establishes procedures for the removal of such designations. The MVC is also tasked with maintaining electronic records of organ donor designations and providing real-time access to designated organ procurement organizations, ensuring that they can verify donation status efficiently. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the organ donation system in New Jersey by simplifying the renewal process and improving access to donor information.
