NY Pub Health L § 4303 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43 - Anatomical Gifts 4303 - Manner of Executing Anatomical Gifts.

§ 4303. Manner of executing anatomical gifts. 1. A gift of all or part   of  the  body  under  this article may be made by will. The gift becomes   effective upon the death of the testator without waiting for probate. If   the will is not probated, or if it is declared invalid for  testamentary   purposes,  the  gift,  to the extent that it has been acted upon in good   faith, is nevertheless valid and effective.2. A gift of all or part of the body under this article  may  also  be   made  by document other than a will. The gift becomes effective upon the   death of the donor. The document, which may be a  card  designed  to  be   carried  on  the  person,  must  be signed by the donor. Delivery of the   document of gift during the donor's lifetime is not  necessary  to  make   the gift valid.3.  The  gift  may  be  made  either  to  a specified donee or without   specifying a donee. If the latter, the  gift  may  be  accepted  by  and   utilized  under  the  direction  of  the  attending  physician  upon  or   following death. If the gift is made to a specified  donee  who  is  not   available  at  the time and place of death, the attending physician upon   or following death, in the absence of any expressed indication that  the   donor desired otherwise, may accept the gift as donee. The physician who   becomes  a  donee  under  this  subdivision shall not participate in the   procedures for removing or transplanting a part.4. Subject to the prohibitions in  subdivision  two  of  section  four   thousand  three hundred six the donor may designate in his will, card or   other document of gift  the  surgeon  or  physician  to  carry  out  the   appropriate  procedures.  In  the  absence  of  a designation, or if the   designee is not available, the  donee  or  other  person  authorized  to   accept the gift may employ or authorize any surgeon or physician for the   purpose.
NY Pub Health L § 4304 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43 - Anatomical Gifts 4304 - Delivery of Document of Gift.

§ 4304. Delivery of document of gift. If the gift is made by the donor   to  a specified donee, the will, card or other document or a copy of the   executed document, may be delivered  to  him  or  her  to  expedite  the   appropriate  procedures immediately after death; however delivery is not   necessary to the validity of the gift. On request of an interested party   upon or after the donor's death, the person in possession shall  produce   the document for examination.
NY Pub Health L § 4306 (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43 - Anatomical Gifts 4306 - Rights and Duties at Death.

§ 4306. Rights and duties at death.  1. The donee may accept or reject the gift. If the donee accepts a gift of the entire body, the donee may, subject to the terms of the gift, authorize embalming and the use of the body  in  funeral  services.  If  the gift is of a part of the body, the donee upon the death of the donor and prior to embalming, may cause  the part  to be removed without unnecessary mutilation. After removal of the part, custody of the remainder  of  the  body  vests  in  the  surviving spouse, next of kin, or other persons under obligation to dispose of the body.   2.  When a donor is determined dead based on irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory  functions,  the  time  of  death  shall  be certified  by  a  physician.  Such  physician may not participate in the procedure to remove or transplant the body part. In all other cases  the time  of death shall be certified by the physician who attends the donor at his death and one other physician, neither of whom shall  participate in the procedure for removing or transplanting the part.   3. (a) (i) A person who acts in good faith in accord with the terms of this  article  or with the anatomical gift laws of another state, is not liable for damages in any civil action or subject to prosecution in  any criminal proceeding for his or her act.  (ii)  A  person  who  acts in good faith in accord with the anatomical gift laws of another country is not liable  for  damages  in  any  civil action  or  subject to prosecution in any criminal proceeding for his or her act provided that:  (A) such country has anatomical gift laws similar in requirements  and effects to the anatomical gift laws of this state;  (B)  such country appears on a list of such countries promulgated as a regulation by the department for such purpose; and  (C) such country appeared on such list at the time of such act.  (b) A person who documents the making,  amending  or  revoking  of  an anatomical  gift, acting reasonably and in good faith in accordance with this article, may accept an anatomical gift under this article made by a person who represents that the person  is  an  authorized  person  under section  forty-three  hundred  one  of  this  article and is entitled to consent to the donation.  (c) An entity under section forty-three  hundred  two  or  forty-three hundred  ten  of this article or a health care professional, or an agent or  employee  thereof,  who  or  which  documents,  records,   recovers, procures, obtains, or utilizes an organ or tissue in reasonable and good faith  reliance  on information provided to or contained in the New York state donate life registry shall not be liable in any civil or  criminal action or proceeding for action based on such reliance.   4.  Any  employee  or  agent of an organ procurement organization, eye bank or tissue bank acting pursuant to this article shall be held to the same standard of confidentiality as  that  imposed  on  employees  of  a hospital.
NY Pub Health L § 4306-A (2021)
2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43 - Anatomical Gifts 4306-A - Advanced Directives in Health Care Proxies.

§  4306-a.  Advanced  directives  and  health  care proxies.   1. If a   prospective donor in a hospital has a declaration or advance health care   directive and terms of the  declaration,  directive  or  proxy  document   concerning life-sustaining treatment are in conflict with the express or   implied  terms  of  a  potential  anatomical  gift  with  regard  to the   administration of measures necessary to ensure the  medical  suitability   of  a  part  for  transplantation  or  therapy,  the prospective donor's   attending physician and the prospective donor shall  confer  to  resolve   the  conflict.  For purposes of this section, an advance directive shall   mean a written or oral instruction by the adult patient relating to  the   provision   of  health  care  to  the  patient  when  an  adult  becomes   incapacitated, including but not limited  to  a  health  care  proxy,  a   consent  to  the issuance of an order not to resuscitate or other orders   for life-sustaining treatment recorded in a patient's medical record, or   a legally-recognized statement of wishes or beliefs.2. If such prospective donor is incapable of resolving  the  conflict,   and  the  patient  in such declaration, directive, or proxy document did   not expressly reject being a donor, then the health  care  proxy  acting   under  the  prospective  donor's declaration, directive, or proxy or, if   none, a surrogate authorized to make health care decisions on behalf  of   the patient, in accordance with the provisions of article twenty-nine-CC   of this chapter, shall act for the patient to resolve the conflict.3.  Such conflict must be resolved expeditiously. Information relevant   to the resolution of the conflict may be obtained from  the  appropriate   procurement  organization  and  any  other  person authorized to make an   anatomical gift for the prospective donor described in  subdivision  two   of section forty-three hundred one of this article. Before resolution of   the  conflict,  measures  necessary to ensure the medical suitability of   the  part  may  not  be  withheld  or  withdrawn  from  the  patient  if   withholding  or  withdrawing  the  measures  is  not  contraindicated by   appropriate end-of-life care.

2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43 - Anatomical Gifts 4306-B - Withdrawal of Life-Sustaining Treatment.

§  4306-b.  Withdrawal  of  life-sustaining  treatment.  This  section   applies in cases where a prospective donor who has  made  an  anatomical   gift or whose donation status has not been ascertained is in a hospital.   The  hospital  shall  not  withdraw  any  measures that are necessary to   maintain the medical suitability  of  the  part  until  the  procurement   organization has had the opportunity to advise the applicable persons as   set  forth  in  section  forty-three  hundred one of this article of the   option to make an anatomical gift, has documented  or  acted  upon  that   decision,  or  has  ascertained that the individual expressed a contrary   intent.  The  procurement  organization  shall  act  expeditiously  with   respect to its responsibilities under this section.

Any person who violates this section shall be guilty of   a class E felony.2. For the purposes of this section, the donation of a kidney or other   organ  from  a  live  donor  for  transplantation  into  an   individual   conditioned  upon  the  donation  and transplantation of a similar organ   into an individual specified by the donor shall not, in and  of  itself,   be considered to be "valuable consideration" provided that such donation   and  transplant  are performed in accordance with other applicable laws,   rules and regulations, including any specific rules and regulations  the   commissioner  may  adopt,  with the advice and consent of the transplant   council, with respect to such conditional donations. No  individual  may   make a donation conditioned upon the race, color, creed, national origin   or  religious  affiliation  of  the  recipient,  and  no hospital, organ   procurement organization, tissue bank, physician or  other  professional   may  participate  in  the  performance  of  any  procedure  or otherwise   facilitate  the  donation  and/or  transfer  of  organs  and/or   tissue   conditioned on such factors.

If a hospital has ascertained that the individual expressed a  desire  not to receive life-sustaining treatment, pursuant to section forty-three hundred six-b of this chapter, the hospital shall  make  the organ procurement organization aware.  (b)  Where  contact  with  the  organ  procurement organization is not required under criteria developed regionally by  the  organ  procurement organization subject to the approval of such criteria by the department, the  hospital  shall  contact  the  appropriate eye bank or tissue bank, except where not required by paragraph (c) of this subdivision.

2021 New York Laws PBH - Public Health Article 43-B - Organ, Tissue and Body Parts Procurement and Storage 4363 - Waiting Lists for Organs.

§  4363.  Waiting  lists  for  organs.  1.  All  organs  retrieved for transplantation in New  York  state  shall  be  allocated  according  to waiting  lists  developed  by  the organ procurement organization in the service area in which the organ is  procured,  provided,  however,  that nothing  herein  shall  preclude  the  exercise  of  medical judgment in determining the  suitability  of  a  proposed  recipient  to  receive  a particular  organ,  and  provided  further, however, that if an organ is brought into a service area of an organ  procurement  organization  from the  service  area  of another organ procurement organization, the organ shall be allocated according to the waiting list developed by the  organ procurement organization in the service area in which the organ is to be implanted. Nothing in this section shall prohibit:  (a) an individual donor from designating the recipient of an organ;  (b)  organ  sharing  with  other  organ  procurement  organizations in accordance with federal and state standards including standards to  meet the  needs  of  patients  who  are  highly sensitized and for whom it is difficult to identify a suitable kidney due  to  conditions  such  as  a blood  transfusion,  immunization,  prior pregnancy or a previous failed kidney transplant;  (c) organ  sharing  with  other  organ  procurement  organizations  in accordance with organ sharing agreements approved by the commissioner.   2.  No  organ procurement organization designated to serve any part of New York state shall  place  any  person  on  a  waiting  list  for  the allocation of organs for transplantation if that person is listed on any other  waiting  list  for the allocation of that organ maintained by any other organ procurement organization designated to serve any part of New York state.   3. No person may place his or her name  on  a  waiting  list  for  the allocation   of  organs  for  transplantation  maintained  by  an  organ procurement organization designated to serve any part of New York  state if  the person is listed on any other waiting list for the allocation of that organ  maintained  by  any  other  organ  procurement  organization designated to serve any part of New York state. Each facility performing transplant  services  shall  inform a patient of the prohibition against being  placed  on  multiple  waiting  lists  before  arranging  for  the placement of the patient on a waiting list.   4.  In  policies  and  procedures  for  distributing  organs, no organ procurement organization  shall  consider  or  give  any  preference  to patients  in  a  facility  based  upon  the  facility's  past or present procurement performance or its past or present relationship with a donor hospital.
