Education: curriculum; instruction in organ and tissue donation; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1170c.

This bill requires Michigan public schools to offer an optional lesson on organ, eye, and tissue donation to students before they finish ninth grade. The state education department must create or adopt a short presentation model by January 1, 2025, which includes information about the Michigan organ donor registry and can be delivered within a single class period. While school boards are encouraged to use this material, parents or legal guardians can request that their child be excused from the lesson without any penalty.
