Relating to persons with the authority to donate a body to certain entities for the advancement of medical or forensic science.

This bill clarifies who can authorize the donation of unclaimed bodies or bodies required to be buried at public expense to medical or forensic science programs. It requires written consent (via will or other document) for such donations and limits this authority to individuals who legally claim the body for burial. The commission must establish rules to implement these changes, ensuring only authorized parties can donate bodies to medical schools or accredited anatomical donation programs. The law applies specifically to bodies not claimed for burial or subject to public burial expenses. It takes effect September 1, 2025.
