S 8749 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Extends provisions relating to requiring space for donate life registration on certain insurance forms

This bill extends the requirement for insurance companies to provide space on their forms for individuals to register as organ donors. It directly affects insurance providers and the people who fill out these forms by ensuring they have the option to indicate their donation status. The law mandates that these updated forms must be in effect starting January 1, 2026, allowing state officials time to create necessary rules for implementation. Once signed into law, the bill becomes active immediately, setting the stage for the specific deadline when the new form requirements will begin.
