Join the new First-Person Consent Organ/Tissue Donor Registry! A new law, effective Jan. 1, 2006, created a new Organ/Tissue Donor Registry making a
person’s wishes to be a donor legally binding. Additional witnesses or family consent is no
longer required for donation to occur.
If you are listed in the old registry, family consent is still required for donation to occur. To
ensure that your decision to be an organ/tissue donor is honored, you
must join the new registry!
