AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Organ donation awareness would expand under this bill through several state touchpoints: the Division of Wildlife Resources' website would need to include information about registering as an organ donor along with a link to the donor registry, licensed health care facilities would be required to give patients information about accessing the donor registry before they are discharged, and state income tax instruction booklets and the Tax Commission's website would need to include similar donor registration information and links. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Human Services to bring together a coalition of state-funded and state-sponsored life-saving programs and develop a comprehensive plan for using high-traffic state websites and publications to share information about these programs, potentially coordinating promotional schedules and costs. If an agency's outreach is already covered under this broader comprehensive plan, that agency would be exempt from the separate organ donor information requirements described above.
