        AN ACT to amend the public health law and the environmental conservation
          law, in relation to allowing donate life  registration  when  applying
          for or renewing a hunting, fishing or trapping license
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision  5  of  section  4310  of  the
     2  public  health  law, as separately amended by chapters 40 and 248 of the
     3  laws of 2016, is amended to read as follows:
     4    (a) Such organ, eye and tissue registration  of  consent  to  make  an
     5  anatomical gift can be made through: (i) indication made on the applica-
     6  tion  or  renewal  form of a driver's license, (ii) indication made on a
     7  non-driver identification card application or renewal form, (iii)  indi-
     8  cation made on a voter registration form pursuant to subdivision five of
     9  section  5-210 of the election law, (iv) indication made on the applica-
    10  tion for health care coverage offered through the state  health  benefit
    11  exchange,  (v) enrollment through the donate life registry website, (vi)
    12  paper enrollment submitted to the donate life registry, [or] (vii) indi-
    13  cation made on the application or renewal form of a hunting, fishing  or
    14  trapping license issued pursuant to title seven of article eleven of the
    15  environmental conservation law, or (viii) through any other method iden-
    16  tified  by  the commissioner.  The department shall establish a means by
    17  which to register the consent given by individuals who  are  sixteen  or
    18  seventeen  years  of  age  in  the  donate life registry, and shall make
    19  registration available by any of the methods provided  in  subparagraphs
    20  (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) [and], (vi) and (vii) of this paragraph.
    21    §  2. Section 11-0713 of the environmental conservation law is amended
    22  by adding a new subdivision 7 to read as follows:
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD10726-02-9
        A. 7915--A                          2
 
     1    7. The commissioner shall ensure that space is provided  on  any  form
     2  for application or renewal of a license issued pursuant to this title so
     3  that  the applicant shall register or decline registration in the donate
     4  life registry for organ, eye and tissue donations  pursuant  to  section
     5  forty-three  hundred ten of the public health law and that the following
     6  is stated on the form in clear and conspicuous type:
     7    "You must fill out the following section: Would you like to  be  added
     8  to  the  Donate  Life  Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this ques-
     9  tion'."
    10    The commissioner of health shall not maintain records  of  any  person
    11  who checks "skip this question". Except where the application is made in
    12  person  or  electronically,  failure to check a box shall not impair the
    13  validity of an application, and failure to check "yes" or checking "skip
    14  this question" shall not be construed to imply a wish not to donate.  In
    15  the  case  of  an  applicant under eighteen years of age, checking "yes"
    16  shall not constitute consent to make an anatomical gift or  registration
    17  in  the  donate  life registry, except as otherwise provided pursuant to
    18  the provisions of paragraph (b) of subdivision  one  of  section  forty-
    19  three  hundred  one  of  the public health law.   Where an applicant has
    20  previously consented to make an anatomical gift  or  registered  in  the
    21  donate  life registry, checking "skip this question" or failing to check
    22  a box shall not impair that consent or registration.
    23    § 3. This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become  a
    24  law.
