HB 4363: Anatomical Gifts Donor Registry Expansion

Overview

Bill Number: HB 4363
Title: Health: anatomical gifts; inclusion on the donor registry of an individual who elects to be a donor on an income tax schedule; allow.
Status: Assigned PA 101'23 with immediate effect
Introduced: March 11, 2025

Purpose and Intent

The primary goal of HB 4363 is to expand the state's anatomical gifts donor registry by allowing individuals to elect to be organ, tissue, and eye donors when filing their state income tax returns. This legislation aims to increase donor registration and ultimately save more lives through organ and tissue transplantation.

Key Provisions

  • Amends the Public Health Code to permit individuals to indicate their intent to be an anatomical gift donor when completing their state income tax return.
  • Requires the Department of Treasury to transmit this donor designation information to the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.
  • Mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to develop educational materials about the donor registry and the option to sign up through tax filings.
  • Directs the Department of Treasury to include a prominent checkbox or similar mechanism on state income tax forms to facilitate donor registration.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • This bill would impact all Michigan residents who file state income tax returns, providing them an additional avenue to join the organ and tissue donor registry.
  • Increased donor registration could lead to more available organs, tissues, and corneas for transplantation, potentially saving and improving the lives of thousands of Michigan residents awaiting these critical gifts.
  • The Departments of Treasury and Health and Human Services would be responsible for implementing the new donor registry enrollment process through tax filings.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

HB 4363 has been assigned Public Act 101 of 2023, with an immediate effective date upon the governor's signature. This expedited timeline indicates the legislature's intent to implement the new donor registry enrollment process as soon as possible. The bill is also tied to HB 4362 and HB 4364, suggesting a coordinated legislative package to enhance organ and tissue donation in Michigan.
