Bill > S08756

This bill amends the effective date of a previously passed law that allows a close friend to make an anatomical gift, meaning the donation of a deceased person's organs or tissues for transplantation or medical research. Instead of taking effect on the first of January after it becomes law, the original law will now become effective 180 days after it is enacted, and the Commissioner of Health is authorized to take necessary steps to prepare for its implementation before that date. This change is being made to align with the effective date of related legislation, specifically legislative bills S. 3360 and A. 1395, which also concern anatomical gifts.
