BILL NUMBER:  S5283
An act to amend the education law, in relation to registration in the
This bill would increase the convenience for younger populations to
enroll in the Donate Life Registry, who may not be predisposed to use
the predominate methods of the DMV or the Board of Elections.
Section 1 - amends the education law by adding a new section 209-b.
This provides for the SUNY regents to include on a student's initial
registration form a question asking if the student wishes to register
in the New York State's Donate Life Registry. This section also
stipulates that records shall not be maintained for anyone who chooses
to skip this question.
Section 2 - amends the education law by adding a new section 262-a.
This provides for the SUNY regents to include on all public library
applications, excepting school libraries, a question asking if the
applicant wishes to register in the New York State's Donate Life
Registry. This section also stipulates that records shall not be
maintained for anyone who chooses to skip this question.
Section 3 - amends the public health law by adding two new paragraphs
(w) and (x) to subdivision 1 of section 206. This provides for the
Commissioner of Health to, in consultation with the SUNY board of
regents, provide for all registering students and applicants for
library cards at public libraries to enroll in the Donate Life
Registry under section forty-three hundred of this chapter.
Section 4 amends the public health law by amending paragraph (a) of
subdivision 5 and subdivision 9 of section 4310, paragraph (a) of
subdivision 5 as separately amended by chapters 40 and 248 of the laws
of 2016, and subdivision 9 as added by section 27 of part A of chapter
60 of the laws of 2014. Expanding the methods of enrollment for the
donate life registry, and including the SUNY board of regents in the
interagency work group to enhance the donate life registry.
Section 5 amends the public health law by amending paragraph (a) of
subdivision 5 of section 4310, as amended by section 27 of part A of
chapter 60 of the laws of 2014. Expanding the methods of enrollment
for the donate life registry.
Section 6 sets the effective date.
According to reports, New York State adults register themselves as
organ donors at less than half the rate of adults nationwide, just 22
percent, while the demand for organ transplants in New York is among
the highest in the country. Currently the only ways to enroll in the
registry are through the Department of Health, the Department of Motor
Vehicles, and the Board of Elections. Part of the problem with lack of
enrollment lies in the limited engagement with these departments
amongst portions of the population. People who live in New York City
that don't drive have almost no interaction with the DMV, while others
who don't vote have no interaction with the Board of Elections. The
New York State library system serves over 19 million people statewide,
while SUNY serves 1.3 million and CUNY 500 thousand people annually.
By expanding the opportunity for people to enroll in the organ donor
registry, the policy goal is to increase the percentage enrolled.
