Provides that organ donor designation on driver's license or identification card remains upon renewal of license or card under certain circumstances.
This bill ensures that New Jersey drivers and ID cardholders who designate themselves as organ donors retain that status automatically when renewing their license or card, without needing to re-register each time. The designation remains active unless the person actively removes it through a specified process outlined by the Motor Vehicle Commission. Licenses and ID cards will clearly display "ORGAN DONOR" to indicate this status, and the Commission must provide real-time electronic access to donor information for organ procurement organizations. This change simplifies the process for donors while maintaining their right to opt out.
