Uniform Anatomical Gift Act: prison inmates.

Existing law establishes a system of state prisons. Existing law, the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act, sets forth the methods and procedures for a person to become a donor of an anatomical gift. This bill would authorize a prisoner in the custody of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to elect to make an anatomical gift on a form developed by the department, as specified. The bill would authorize the prisoner to make that election at the time of admittance into the state prison system, or at a later time at the prisoner's request. The bill would establish a procedure by which a prisoner may revoke that election.
