On March 11, Senator Schumer said he plans to introduce legislation to create such a registry. Under the legislation, the Organ and Tissue Donation Enhancement Act of 2001, the Department of Health and Human Services would administer a federal database containing the name, address, birth date, sex, height, and eye color of every organ and tissue donor in the United States. Participation in the registry would not be legally binding, the statement said. The bill would also establish a new task force of organ donation experts to study ways to improve the registry, increase donations, and increase public awareness.
Registration is required.
