S 2302 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for opting out of organ and tissue donation.

S 2302 updates New Jersey's organ donation policy for driver's licenses and ID cards by requiring an active opt-out. Individuals must explicitly choose to decline organ donation when applying for or renewing a license or ID card; if they do not, they remain an organ donor by default. The bill also formalizes the Donate Life NJ Registry as the official online system for registration and ensures the Motor Vehicle Commission provides public information about organ donation. This affects all New Jersey residents obtaining or renewing driver's licenses or ID cards, with exceptions for minors under 18 who have not registered as donors.
