NY A10039

Establishes "Lauren's Law" requiring organ and tissue donation registration questions on driver's license, non-driver identification card, and voter registration applications

Mandates clear, conspicuous language on applications asking applicants to check "YES" or "SKIP THIS QUESTION" to join the Donate Life Registry, with failure to check a box not invalidating the application

Prohibits the Department of Health from maintaining records of individuals who select "SKIP THIS QUESTION" and clarifies that not checking "YES" does not imply a wish not to donate

Specifies that applicants under 18 years old cannot consent to anatomical gifts through checking "YES," and that previous donations or registry enrollments cannot be impaired by skipping the question

Requires reasonable efforts by organ procurement organizations to inquire whether donors have knowledge of contrary indications to anatomical gifts based on the decedent's religious or moral beliefs

Takes effect one year after enactment, with provisions expiring and being repealed three years after the effective date
