GA Code § 44-5-146 (2021)
2021 Georgia Code|Title 44 - Property|Chapter 5 - Acquisition and Loss of Property|Article 6 - Revised Uniform Anatomical Gifts|§ 44-5-146. Role and Authority of People Other Than Donor

  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g) of this Code section and subject to subsection (f) of this Code section, in the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor, a person other than the donor is barred from making, amending, or revoking an anatomical gift of a donor's body or part if the donor made an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-143 or an amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-144.   A donor's revocation of an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-144 is not a refusal and does not bar another person specified in Code Sections 44-5-142 and 44-5-147 from making an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-143 or 44-5-148.   If a person other than the donor makes an unrevoked anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-143 or an amendment to an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-144, another person may not make, amend, or revoke the gift of the donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-148.   A revocation of an anatomical gift of a donor's body or part under Code Section 44-5-144 by a person other than the donor does not bar another person from making an anatomical gift of the body or part under Code Section 44-5-143 or 44-5-148.   In the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift under Code Section 44-5-142, an anatomical gift of a part is neither a refusal to give another part nor a limitation on the making of an anatomical gift of another part at a later time by the donor or another person.   In the absence of an express, contrary indication by the donor or other person authorized to make an anatomical gift under Code Section 44-5-142, an anatomical gift of a part for one or more of the purposes set forth in Code Section 44-5-142 is not a limitation on the making of an anatomical gift of the part for any of the other purposes by the donor or any other person under Code Section 44-5-143 or 44-5-148.   If a donor who is an unemancipated minor dies, a parent of the donor who is reasonably available may revoke or amend an anatomical gift of the donor's body or part.   If an unemancipated minor who signed a refusal dies, a parent of the minor who is reasonably available may revoke the minor's refusal.     (Code 1981, §44-5-146, enacted by Ga. L. 2008, p. 503, § 1/SB 405.)

  Subject to subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section and unless barred by Code Section 44-5-145 or 44-5-146, an anatomical gift of a decedent's body or part for the purpose of transplantation, therapy, research, or education may be made by any member of the following classes of persons who is reasonably available, in the order of priority listed:   An agent of the decedent at the time of death who could have made an anatomical gift under paragraph (2) of Code Section 44-5-142 immediately before the decedent's death;   The spouse of the decedent;   Adult children of the decedent;   Parents of the decedent;   Adult siblings of the decedent;   Adult grandchildren of the decedent;   Grandparents of the decedent;   The persons who were acting as the guardians of the person of the decedent at the time of death;   Any other person having the authority to dispose of the decedent's body; and   A representative ad litem who shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction forthwith upon a petition heard ex parte filed by any person, which representative ad litem shall ascertain that no person of higher priority exists and is reasonably available who objects to the gift of all or any part of the decedent's body and that no evidence exists of the decedent's having made a communication expressing a desire that his or her body or body parts not be donated upon death.     If there is more than one member of a class listed in paragraph (1), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8) of subsection (a) of this Code section entitled to make an anatomical gift, an anatomical gift may be made by a member of the class only if the person to which the gift may pass under Code Section 44-5-149 in good faith obtains a representation from the member that the member does not know of an objection by another member of the class. If an objection is known, the gift may be made only by a majority of the members of the class who are reasonably available.   A person may not make an anatomical gift if, at the time of the decedent's death, a person in a prior class under subsection (a) of this Code section is reasonably available to make or to object to the making of an anatomical gift.     (Code 1981, §44-5-147, enacted by Ga. L. 2008, p. 503, § 1/SB 405.)

2021 Georgia Code|Title 44 - Property|Chapter 5 - Acquisition and Loss of Property|Article 6 - Revised Uniform Anatomical Gifts|§ 44-5-148. Signed Writing or Oral Communication Required for Gift of Document

  A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under Code Section 44-5-147 may make an anatomical gift by a document of gift signed by the person making the gift or by that person's oral communication that is electronically recorded or is contemporaneously reduced to a record and signed by the individual receiving the oral communication.   Subject to subsection (c) of this Code section, an anatomical gift by a person authorized under Code Section 44-5-147 may be amended or revoked orally or in a record by any member of a prior class who is reasonably available. If more than one member of the prior class is reasonably available, the gift made by a person authorized under Code Section 44-5-147 may be:   Amended only if a majority of the reasonably available members agree to the amending of the gift; or   Revoked only if a majority of the reasonably available members agree to the revoking of the gift or if they are equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.     A revocation under subsection (b) of this Code section is effective only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from the donor's body or before invasive procedures have begun to prepare the recipient, the procurement organization, transplant hospital, or physician or technician knows of the revocation.     (Code 1981, §44-5-148, enacted by Ga. L. 2008, p. 503, § 1/SB 405.)

  The following persons shall make a reasonable search of an individual who the person reasonably believes is dead or near death for a document of gift or other information identifying the individual as a donor or as an individual who made a refusal:   A law enforcement officer, firefighter, paramedic, emergency medical technician, or other first responder finding the individual, in accordance with subsection (b.1) of Code Section 17-6-11; and   If no other source of the information is immediately available, a hospital, as soon as practical after the individual's arrival at the hospital.     If a document of gift or a refusal to make an anatomical gift is located by the search required by subsection (a) of this Code section and the individual or deceased individual to whom it relates is taken to a hospital, the person responsible for conducting the search shall send the document of gift or refusal to the hospital.   A person is not subject to criminal or civil liability for failing to discharge the duties imposed by this Code section but may be subject to administrative sanctions.

  A person that acts in accordance with this article or with the applicable anatomical gift law of another state, or attempts in good faith to do so, is not liable for the act in a civil action, criminal prosecution, or administrative proceeding.   Neither the person making an anatomical gift nor the donor's estate is liable for any injury or damage that results from the making or use of the gift.   In determining whether an anatomical gift has been made, amended, or revoked under this article, a person may rely upon representations of an individual listed in paragraph (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), or (7) of subsection (a) of Code Section 44-5-147 relating to the individual's relationship to the donor or prospective donor unless the person knows that the representation is untrue.

2021 Georgia Code|Title 44 - Property|Chapter 5 - Acquisition and Loss of Property|Article 6 - Revised Uniform Anatomical Gifts|§ 44-5-158. Donor Registry

  The Department of Driver Services shall make available to procurement organizations or secure data centers maintained and managed at the direction of a procurement organization the name, license number, date of birth, gender, and most recent address of any person who obtains an organ donor's license; provided, however, that the gender information shall only be made available to a procurement organization or secure data center if such organization or center has sufficient funds to cover the associated costs with providing such information. Information so obtained by such organizations shall be used for the purpose of establishing a state-wide organ donor registry accessible to organ tissue and eye banks authorized to function as such in this state and shall not be further disseminated.   A donor registry shall:   Allow a donor or other person authorized under Code Section 44-5-142 to include on the donor registry a statement or symbol that the donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift;   Be accessible to a procurement organization to allow it to obtain relevant information on the donor registry to determine, at or near death of the donor or a prospective donor, whether the donor or prospective donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift; and   Be accessible for purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection seven days a week on a 24 hour basis.     Personally identifiable information on a donor registry about a donor or prospective donor may not be used or disclosed without the express consent of the donor, prospective donor, or person that made the anatomical gift for any purpose other than to determine, at or near death of the donor or prospective donor, whether the donor or prospective donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift; provided, however, this shall not preclude the use of aggregated demographic information for the purposes of annual reporting, research, or education.   This Code section does not prohibit any person from creating or maintaining a donor registry that is not established by or under contract with this state. Any such registry shall comply with subsections (b) and (c) of this Code section.     (Code 1981, §44-5-158, enacted by Ga. L. 2008, p. 503, § 1/SB 405.)

  A medical examiner and procurement organizations shall cooperate with each other to maximize the opportunity to recover anatomical gifts for the purpose of transplantation, therapy, research, or education.   If a medical examiner receives notice from a procurement organization that an anatomical gift might be available or was made with respect to a decedent whose body is under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner and a postmortem examination is going to be performed, unless the medical examiner denies recovery in accordance with Code Section 44-5-159.2, the medical examiner or designee shall conduct, when practicable, a postmortem examination of the body or the part in a manner and within a period compatible with its preservation for the purposes of the gift. The date and location of such examinations shall occur as specified in the agreement as provided for in subsection (e) of Code Section 44-5-159.2.   A part may not be removed from the body of a decedent under the jurisdiction of a medical examiner for transplantation, therapy, research, or education unless the part is the subject of an anatomical gift. The body of a decedent under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner may not be delivered to a person for research or education unless the body is the subject of an anatomical gift. This subsection shall not preclude a medical examiner from performing the medicolegal autopsy upon the body or parts of a decedent under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner or from using the body or parts of a decedent under the jurisdiction of the medical examiner for the purposes of education, training, and research required by the medical examiner.
