BILL NUMBER:S5101 Revised 05/01/15 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law and the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to registration of consent to make an anatomical gift PURPOSE: To ensure that when people are applying for a New York State drivers license they complete the section of the application relating to making an anatomical gift which requires them to check either "yes" or "skip this question". SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 4310 of the Public Health Law to remove language which allows an application for a driver's license to be processed even if neither the "yes" or "skip this question" box is checked in the section relating to signing up as a organ donor. Sections 2 and 3 make the same amendments to sections of the vehicle and traffic law. Section 4 - Effective date
