                                BILL NUMBER:S6022            REVISED MEMO 07/23/2015

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the education law, the public health
law, the tax law, the vehicle and traffic law, the judiciary law and
the executive law, in relation to requiring certain state forms and
applications to include space for registering in the "donate life
registry" for organ, eye and tissue donations

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill amends the education law, the public health law, the tax
law, the vehicle and traffic law, the judiciary law and the executive
law, in relation to requiring certain state forms and applications to
include space for registering in the "donate life registry" for organ,
eye and tissue donations.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends Section 355 of the Education Law by adding a new
subdivision that requires all applications for admission to state
operated institutions of higher education (SUNY) and community
colleges to include a space for the applicant to register in the
"donate life registry."

Section 2 amends Section 3006 of the Education Law to allow for the
inclusion of space for persons applying for teaching certifications to

register in the "donate life registry."

Section 3 amends Section 6206 of the Education Law to allow for the
inclusion of space on applications for admission to CUNY institutions
where applicants may elect to register in the "donate life registry."

Section 4 amends Section 6501 of the Education Law to allow applicants
for professional licenses issued by the Department of Education to
elect to register in the "donate life registry."

Section 5 amends Section 206 of the Public Health Law to allow those
seeking to participate in the State's health benefit exchange to have
an opportunity to elect to register in the "donate life registry."

Section 6 amends Section 651 of the Tax Law to allow for the inclusion
on State tax forms of a checkbox allowing taxpayers to elect to
register in the "donate life registry."

Section 7 amends Section 401 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow
for the inclusion on each application for registration and/or renewal
of a motor vehicle of a checkbox allowing applicants to elect to
register in the "donate life registry."

Section 8 amends Section 464 of the Judiciary Law by allowing for the
inclusion of space on applications for admission to the practice of
law of a checkbox allowing applicants to elect to register in the
"donate life registry."

Section 9 amends Section 468-A of the Judiciary Law by allowing for
the inclusion of a space on biennial attorney registration forms for


the renewing attorney to elect to register in the "donate life
registry."

Section 10 adds a new Section 91-A to the Executive Law to include
space on applications for business licenses for applicants to elect to
register in the "donate life registry," for professions and/or
occupations licensed or registered by the Department of State.

Section 11 sets for the effective date of this act.

JUSTIFICATION:

Recent reports indicate that New York ranks last among the fifty
states with regard to the percentage of residents that are registered
as organ donors. More than 10,000 are in need of a life-saving organ
transplant at any given time, which represents the third-highest need
for donors in the United States. Over 1,600 people in New York State
have been on the waiting list for more than five years. In 2013 alone,
nearly 600 New Yorkers died due to a severe shortage of donors.

This legislation takes a common sense approach to increasing
opportunities for New Yorker's to register as organ donors through the
"donate life registry." Where state government forms presenting the
public with the option to register as a donor are currently limited to
identification applications at the Department of Motor Vehicles, voter
registration forms and standalone forms to participate in the
registry, much more can and should be done to encourage registration.

This bill mandates that additional state-issued forms must provide New
Yorkers with the opportunity to register as an organ donor, including
on:

*Applications for admission to SUNY and CUNY academic programs;
*Applications for teaching certifications/licenses as issued by the
New York State Department of Education;
*Applications for professional licenses as issued by the New York
State Department of Education;
*Applications for participation in the State's healthcare exchange;
*New York State income tax forms;
*Applications for the registration and renewal of motor vehicles;
*Applications for admission to the practice of law;
*Biennial registration renewal forms, as filed by attorneys; and
*Applications to conduct a profession or occupation as licensed by the
New York Department of State

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Minimal.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become a law; provided, however, that


effective immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any
rule or regulation necessary for the implementation of this act on its
effective date are authorized and directed to be made and completed on
or before such effective date.
