Relating to registration of voters and voluntary registration of organ donors
What changed between versions
Removed draft headers, navigation menus, and internal legislative notes (e.g., 'Delegate Akers moved to amend') that were present in the working version but are not part of the final law.
Formalized the requirement for voter registration applications to include an option for applicants to register as organ donors and be included in the National Donate Life Registry.
Updated the Division of Motor Vehicles' role to cooperate with the donor registry, while explicitly assigning the Secretary of State the duty to collect organ donor information from voter registration applications.
Established a comprehensive list of legal definitions for terms such as 'anatomical gift,' 'donor registry,' and 'prospective donor' to ensure consistent application of the law.
Mandated that the Center for Organ Recovery and Education reimburse the Secretary of State and Division of Natural Resources for the costs of creating and administering the donor information system, while absolving these agencies of liability if reimbursement is not received.
