AI Summary
-
Requires New York State to add "Donate Life Registry" opt-in checkboxes to civil service exam applications, unemployment benefit claims, professional license applications, state income tax returns, motor vehicle registrations, and attorney admission/registration forms
-
Applicants must be presented with the question "Would you like to be added to the Donate Life Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this question'" in clear and conspicuous type
-
Prohibits state agencies from maintaining records of individuals who select "skip this question," and clarifies that skipping or not checking a box does not imply a wish not to donate
-
Specifies that applicants under 16 years of age who check "yes" do not provide legal consent for anatomical gifts or registry enrollment
-
Protects existing donor registrations by ensuring that failing to check a box on subsequent applications does not revoke or impair prior consent to donate
Legislative Description
Requires that space be provided on applications for a civil service examination, claims for unemployment benefits, applications for the practice of a profession or occupation, state income tax returns, and applications to register a motor vehicle, for the applicant to register in the "donate life registry" for organ, eye and tissue donation established pursuant to section 4310 of the public health law.
