2023 Assembly Bill 936 Assembly Amendment 1
2023 ASSEMBLY BILL 936
Assembly Bill 936 requires the Department of Revenue (DOR) to place on income tax forms a method
by which a resident of this state who is 15 years of age or older, or an emancipated minor, may elect to
include his or her name as a donor of an anatomical gift in the donor registry maintained by the
Department of Transportation (DOT). The bill requires DOR to transmit certain information about
applicants who elect to be included in the donor registry to DOT, and requires DOT to record donor
authorizations received from DOR in the donor registry even if the person does not have an operator’s
license or identification card issued by DOT.
The bill also adds DOR to the list of state agencies that must cooperate with DHS in establishing a
donor registry.
ASSEMBLY AMENDMENT 1
The amendment adds material to the statutory section on amending or revoking an anatomical gift
before a donor’s death to specify that a donor may not revoke an anatomical gift by declining to
authorize inclusion of his or her name in the donor registry when applying for or renewing a driver’s
license or identification card, when applying for a hunting, fishing, or trapping license, or when filing an
income tax form unless the donor expressly indicates his or her intent to have his or her name removed
from the donor registry.
