HB 3439 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to registration of voters and voluntary registration of organ donors

HB 3439 adds a voluntary organ donor registration option to West Virginia voter registration forms. The bill requires all voter registration applications to include a checkbox for organ donation, allowing applicants to join the national organ donor database when registering to vote. The Secretary of State would collect these donor registrations and share the data with the organ donor registry. This change affects all West Virginia voters completing registration forms, making it easier to register as an organ donor while voting.

MINOR

The bill was updated from a 'Committee Substitute' version to an 'Engrossed' version, indicating it has passed its committee stage and is ready for the next legislative step. The core policy text regarding organ donor registration during voter registration remains substantively unchanged, though the document now includes a note clarifying that the bill's purpose is to allow voters to indicate their choice to become organ donors when registering to vote.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the bill's new status as 'Engrossed' rather than 'Committee Substitute'.

The previous 'Committee Substitute' label and the introductory note explaining the bill's purpose were removed from the main text, likely as they are now redundant or replaced by the new status.

A new note was added at the bottom of the document reiterating the bill's purpose to include an organ donor option for voters.
