SB 349 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to anatomical gifts. (BDR 40-543)

SB 349 amends Nevada law to explicitly authorize procurement organizations (like organ donation agencies) to transport or arrange for the transportation of a deceased donor's body or body parts. This change directly affects hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and families of donors by clarifying their ability to move remains for donation purposes. Key provisions allow transportation for removing/transplanting body parts or returning remaining body parts to families after donation. The bill makes no changes to donation eligibility or medical standards, only streamlining logistical steps for existing anatomical gift processes. It takes effect July 1, 2025.

What changed between versions

Reprint 2 As Enrolled · 2 edits · May 31, 2025
MINOR
This bill finalizes the text of SB 349, which authorizes procurement organizations to transport deceased donors when medical equipment is necessary to preserve organ viability. It also empowers county coroners to require notification from these organizations when such transportation occurs within their jurisdiction. The changes are primarily formatting adjustments to convert the bill from a 'Reprint' version to the final 'As Enrolled' version ready for signing.
Scope change
The substantive scope of the law remains unchanged; the text of the new provisions regarding organ transport and coroner notification is identical between the two versions.
TECHNICAL

Removed the 'Reprint' header and explanatory notes, replacing them with the standard 'As Enrolled' legislative formatting and official chapter title.

Adjusted line breaks and spacing throughout the document to meet final printing standards, though the legal content and wording remain identical.
