Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2023

The Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2023 requires entities that buy and sell human bodies or body parts for education, research, or medical training (not for transplants) to register with the federal government. It mandates detailed record-keeping for each donation - including donor consent documentation, medical history, and chain-of-custody tracking - and sets strict labeling and packaging rules to include donor names, cause of death, and health information. The law restricts how donor information can be used and requires proper disposal of remains, while exempting organ transplant networks, funeral homes, and medical schools from registration. Violations may result in fines or loss of registration.
