A5375

New Jersey A5375 mandates organ procurement organizations to verify organ donor status using the most current information from the MVC, Donate Life.

New Jersey A5375 requires organ procurement organizations to verify and rely on the most current organ donor designations and identification information available through the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, the Donate Life NJ Registry, or other authorized donor registries. This ensures that organ procurement organizations reflect the donor’s most recent designation before any action is taken relating to an organ or tissue donation. The bill also allows these organizations to contract with third parties to implement necessary systems for electronic access to donor information.
