DONATIONS: Provides procedures and methods to execute gifts under the Anatomical Gift Act. (1/1/27)

SB 311 updates Louisiana's rules for organ and tissue donations after death. It clarifies who can authorize donations (including family members with legal documents), creates new systems for tracking both donation authorizations and refusals via state registries, and defines key terms like "donor registry" to standardize procedures. These changes directly affect donors, hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and medical teams handling donations. The bill modernizes existing law without altering donation policies, focusing on clearer legal processes for families and healthcare providers.
