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 ques- tion" 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, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (B) OF SUBDIVISION ONE OF SECTION FORTY-THREE HUNDRED ONE OF THIS CHAPTER.
