   5.  "Paired  donation"  means  a  living  donation in which the living
 donor's organ is incompatible with the ultimate intended  recipient  and

 directly  or  through  paired  donation  is a resident of the state. The
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
