Bill Summary

Relative to providing for a negative check-off to becoming an organ or tissue donor upon license renewal. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend a section of the Massachusetts General Laws to change the process for individuals to become organ or tissue donors upon applying for or renewing a driver's license. The key provision is that each applicant will be automatically designated as an organ or tissue donor, unless the applicant explicitly states in writing that they do not wish to be a donor. This represents a shift from the current opt-in approach to an opt-out approach for organ and tissue donation through the driver's license application process.
