Description
Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. Specifies a procedure for resolving situations when, with regard to the measures necessary to ensure the medical suitability of an organ, there is a conflict between an advanced health care directive or similar declaration and the express or implied terms of an anatomical gift. The bill also repeals a section that was inadvertently not repealed when the prior act was repealed in 2007 and makes some clarifying changes. The 2007 General Assembly repealed the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and enacted the Revised Uniform Anatomical Gift Act. Amends § 32.1-291.21 (“Effect of anatomical gift on advance health-care directive.”), § 32.1-292.2 (“The Virginia Donor Registry.”), § 46.2-342 (“What license to contain; organ donor information; Uniform Donor Document.”), of the Code of Virginia.
