Bill > H2466

This bill aims to further regulate organ and tissue donation in Massachusetts. It directs the Department of Public Health to create a model code for tissue banks and procurement organizations, including rules to ensure legal and ethical procurement of tissue from eligible donors. The bill also requires tissue banks and procurement organizations to register with the Department and provide information to donors about the process and use of donated tissue. Non-compliance can result in civil fines, and fraudulent behavior in obtaining consent or using ineligible tissue can lead to criminal penalties. The bill's key provisions focus on enhancing transparency, oversight, and accountability in the tissue donation industry.
