This bill mandates the inclusion of a designated space on various license application and renewal forms, as well as public assistance application forms, for individuals to indicate their desire to make an anatomical gift under the Jonathan Spradling Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. It requires the Motor Vehicle Division of the Taxation and Revenue Department to maintain a statewide donor registry that includes these completed statements, which must be signed in the presence of a witness. The bill also establishes a timeline for implementation by January 1, 2026, and amends existing laws to ensure donor status is recorded across multiple licensing boards, including those for concealed handgun licenses, nursing, and medical practice.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions across various professional licensing acts, requiring that license application and renewal forms include a designated space for applicants to indicate their status as anatomical donors. The boards responsible for these professions must submit completed forms to the Motor Vehicle Division for inclusion in the statewide registry. The legislation also makes minor deletions regarding the effective date of applications for concealed handgun licenses and updates the short titles of the Naprapathic Practice Act and the Uniform Athlete Agents Act. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the donor registration process and enhance awareness and participation in organ donation across various professional fields.
