Amends the effectiveness of provisions related to permitting a close friend to make an anatomical gift of a decedent's body

This bill (A 9488) delays the implementation of a law allowing close friends to make anatomical gifts of a decedent's body. It postpones the effective date by 180 days after enactment (from the original date), giving the health commissioner time to prepare. The health commissioner is authorized to take necessary actions to implement the law before its effective date. This affects individuals making anatomical gifts and the health department managing the process. The bill focuses solely on the timing of implementation, not the policy itself.
