Text

(a) The bureau of motor vehicles, the

this state establishes, contracts for, or recognizes for the purpose of
transferring to the donor registry all relevant information regarding a
donor's making, amendment to, or revocation of an anatomical gift.

this chapter to include on the donor registry a statement or symbol
that the donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift;
(2) be accessible to a procurement organization and to coroners
to allow it to obtain relevant information on the donor registry to
determine, at or near death of the donor or a prospective donor,
whether the donor or prospective donor has made, amended, or
revoked an anatomical gift; and
(3) be accessible for purposes of subdivisions (1) and (2) seven
(7) days a week on a twenty-four (24) hour basis.
(c) Personally identifiable information on a donor registry about a

express consent of the donor, prospective donor, or person that made
the anatomical gift for any purpose other than to determine, at or near
death of the donor or prospective donor, whether the donor or
prospective donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift.
(d) This section does not prohibit any person from creating or
maintaining a donor registry that is not established by or under contract
with the state. Any such registry must comply with subsections (b) and
