IN HB1072

Procurement organizations (organ/tissue banks) are prohibited from obtaining funeral home or crematory licenses and from recommending specific funeral providers to donor families, except through a neutral rotating list

Revises the priority order for who may authorize anatomical gifts for a decedent, adding funeral planning declaration designees and DD Form 93 designees at the top, and excluding spouses with pending divorces or protection orders filed against them

Requires procurement organizations to notify the selected funeral provider before removing human remains from the place of death and before transporting remains outside Indiana

Mandates disclosure requirements when seeking consent for anatomical gifts, including explaining differences between organ and tissue donation, that tissues may be transferred to for-profit entities, and impacts on embalming/cremation/viewing

Procurement organizations must publish annual transparency reports by April 1 disclosing donation counts, revenues/expenses for organ versus tissue recovery, and third-party entities receiving tissues; violations constitute deceptive consumer acts with associated penalties
