Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled"Public health code,"(MCL 333.1101 to 333.25211) by adding section 10401.
AI Summary
This bill requires physicians' private practice offices and urgent care centers to offer new patients between 18 and 45 years old optional information about bone marrow donation and organ/tissue donation. Specifically, these medical facilities may verbally or electronically ask new patients if they are interested in learning more about becoming a bone marrow donor or joining the organ and tissue donor registry. If a patient expresses interest, the medical office must provide educational materials that include contact information for bone marrow donation programs or the state's organ procurement organization. The bill defines key terms like "anatomical gift" and "organ and tissue donor registry" using existing definitions in the Public Health Code. The goal appears to be increasing awareness and participation in donation programs by providing information during routine medical visits, with patients having the choice to opt-in to receiving additional details about donation opportunities.
