AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and  the  election  law,  in
  relation  to  notification  of  the  national bone marrow program; and
  repealing certain provisions of the vehicle and traffic  law  relating
  thereto

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The vehicle and traffic law is  amended  by  adding  a  new
section 101-d to read as follows:
  S  101-D.  BONE MARROW DONOR CONTACT INFORMATION.  THE NATIONAL MARROW
DONOR PROGRAM CONTACT INFORMATION INCLUDING THE MAILING ADDRESS, CONTACT
TELEPHONE NUMBER AND WEBSITE ADDRESS.
  S 2. The third undesignated paragraph of subdivision 2 of section  490
of the vehicle and traffic law, as amended by chapter 405 of the laws of
2015, is amended to read as follows:
  The  commissioner  of  health shall not maintain records of any person
who checks "skip this question".  Except where the application  is  made
in person or electronically, failure to check a box shall not impair the
validity of an application, and failure to check "yes" or checking "skip
this  question" shall not be construed to imply a wish not to donate. In
the case of an applicant under eighteen years  of  age,  checking  "yes"
shall  not constitute consent to make an anatomical gift or registration
in the donate life registry. Where an applicant has previously consented
to make an anatomical gift or registered in the  donate  life  registry,
checking "skip this question" or failing to check a box shall not impair
that  consent  or  registration.    ADDITIONALLY, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL
ENSURE THAT SPACE IS PROVIDED ON THE APPLICATION TO ADVISE APPLICANTS OF
THE EXISTENCE OF THE NATIONAL MARROW DONOR PROGRAM AND TO PROVIDE, AT  A
MINIMUM,  THE  CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THIS PROGRAM AND A DESCRIPTION OF
ITS PURPOSE.
  S 3. Subdivision 2 of section 490 of the vehicle and traffic  law,  as
amended  by  chapter  575  of  the  laws  of 2006, is amended to read as
follows:

                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
