Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend a chapter of the laws of 2025 amending the public health law relating to permitting a close friend to make an anatomical gift of a decedent's body, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 3360 and A. 1395, in relation to the effectiveness thereof
AI Summary
This bill amends a previously passed law from 2025 that allows a close friend to make an anatomical gift, which is the donation of a person's body or body parts for transplantation, therapy, medical research, or education, after their death. Specifically, this bill changes the effective date of that law, meaning it will now take effect 180 days after it becomes law, rather than on January 1st of the following year. The Commissioner of Health is authorized to take necessary actions to prepare for the law's implementation before its new effective date.
