SB 229 Utah Senate · 2025 General Session

Organ Donor Amendments

SB 229 requires Utah's individual income tax booklets to include clear information about registering as an organ donor and instructions for accessing the state's donor registry. This affects all Utah residents who receive income tax materials, as the tax booklets will now feature this organ donation information alongside existing tax details. The bill amends Utah Code Section 59-10-103.1 to add this requirement without changing the donor registry system or requiring new funding. It takes effect on May 7, 2025, and is designed to increase organ donation awareness through routine tax communications.
