MINOR
The bill number was updated from SB0291.2 to SB0291.1, and the revision dates were adjusted to reflect the latest version. A substantive change was made to the donor registry section, adding 'bone marrow' as an eligible tissue type that state employees may choose to donate. The Senate motion to delete line 10 (which previously excluded bone marrow) was removed, meaning bone marrow donation is now explicitly permitted under the bill.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include bone marrow as an eligible tissue type for state employee organ donation registration.
ELIGIBILITY
Added 'bone marrow' to the list of tissues that state employees may donate through the donor registry.
TECHNICAL
Removed the Senate motion that previously proposed deleting line 10, which would have excluded bone marrow from donation eligibility.
Updated bill number from SB0291.2 to SB0291.1 and adjusted revision dates to reflect the current version.
