BILL NUMBER: S6196
TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law and the
education law, in relation to requiring the president of the New York
state higher education services corporation to include space for
registering in the "donate life registry" for organ, eye and tissue
donations on applications for student aid and loan programs; and to
repeal certain provisions of the public health law relating thereto
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL :
This bill requires the president of the New York State Higher
Education Services Corporation to include space for registering in the
"donate life registry" for organ, eye, and tissue donations on
applications for student aid and loan programs.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :
Section 1 amends paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 4310 of the
public health law, as separately amended by chapters 40 and 248 of the
laws 2016, and adds the application for a student aid or loan program
to the list of applications approved for use to consent to make an
anatomical gift.
Section 2 amends paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 4310 of the
public health law, as amended by section 27 of part A of chapter 60 of
the laws of the laws of 2014, and adds the application for a student aid or loan program to the list of applications approved for use to consent to make an anatomical gift, as well as provides for the use an electronic signature when giving such consent. Section 3 amends subdivision 1 of section 206 of the public health law by adding a new paragraph w, which sets forth in what manner an applicant may register their consent to make an anatomical gift and the rules governing the receipt, processing, and retention of such applications. Section 4 amends paragraph a of subdivision 4 of section 655 of the education law, as amended by chapter 202 of the laws of 1996, which sets forth in what manner an applicant may register their consent to make an anatomical gift and the rules governing the receipt, processing, and retention of such applications. Section 5 sets the effective date of this act. JUSTIFICATION : Recent reports indicate that New York near the bottom among the fifty states with regard to the percentage of residents that are registered as organ donors. More than 10,000 individuals are in need of a life-saving organ transplant at any given time, which represents the third-highest need for donors in the United States. Over 1,600 people in New York State have been on the waiting list for more than five years. In 2013 alone, nearly 600 New Yorkers died due to a severe shortage of donors. This legislation takes a common sense approach to increasing opportunities for New Yorkers to register as organ donors through the "donate life registry." Where state government forms presenting the public with the option to register as a donor are currently limited to identification applications at the Department of Motor Vehicles, voter registration forms and standalone forms to participate in the registry, much more can and should be done to encourage registration. This bill mandates that additional state-issued forms must provide New Yorkers with the opportunity to register as an organ donor, including on applications for student aid and loan programs provided by the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY : This is a new bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS : Minimal. EFFECTIVE DATE : This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law, provided that the amendments to subdivision 5 of this section 4310 of the public health law made by section one of this action shall not affect the expiration and reversion of such subdivision pursuant to section 6 of chapter 465 of the laws of 2012, as amended, when upon such date section two of this act shall take effect; provided further, sections two-a and two-b of this act shall take effect on the same date as the amendment to subdivision 2 of section 4310 of the public health law, made by chapter 465 of the laws of 2012, as amended, expire and are deemed repealed; provided, further, that effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date authorized and directed to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
