Allows individuals to register in the donate life registry through mandatory personal income tax electronic tax filings
S 7331 adds a new method for New York residents to register for the Donate Life Registry (which facilitates organ, eye, and tissue donations) by including a simple registration option during mandatory electronic personal income tax filings. The bill requires that tax forms used for electronic filings include a clear, standalone question asking: "Would you like to be added to the Donate Life Registry? Check box for 'yes' or 'skip this question'." This applies specifically to taxpayers required to file taxes electronically under New York law, making registration more accessible during an existing administrative process. The bill does not change existing registration methods but expands options to include tax filings, without mandating registration.
