HB 5394 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Health: anatomical gifts; inclusion on the donor registry of an individual who elects to be a donor on an income tax schedule; allow. Amends sec. 10120 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.10120).

This bill allows Michigan residents to register as anatomical donors by checking a box on their state income tax return instead of visiting the Secretary of State's office in person. It requires the Department of Treasury to send this information to the Secretary of State, who will then add eligible individuals to the official donor registry. The law mandates that the registry be accessible 24/7 to organ procurement organizations at no cost, while ensuring that personal data remains private and is only shared with medical teams when a potential donor is near death.
