S 2739 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires the distribution of information in the pre-licensing course to operate a motor vehicle on how to register as an organ and tissue donor

This bill requires that drivers taking the pre-licensing course in New York receive information on how to register as organ and tissue donors. It mandates that instructors at these courses distribute specific materials explaining the registration process to all students. Additionally, the law calls for updating instructor training to ensure they can effectively teach this new topic alongside existing safety subjects. The changes apply to anyone enrolling in the state's standard driver education program and will take effect roughly 180 days after the bill becomes law.
