Groups handling organ and tissue donations would check donors’ latest choices

Groups that arrange organ and tissue donations would verify and rely on the most current donor choice and identifying details. This applies to federally designated donation groups serving New Jersey when checking a donor or another person allowed to authorize a donation. They must use information from the Motor Vehicle Commission, Donate Life NJ, or another authorized registry or data source, as applicable. Their records and checks must reflect the donor’s latest choice to donate or withdraw that choice. The requirement would start immediately if enacted. Groups must reflect the latest choice before taking any action related to an organ or tissue donation.
