Senate advances update to anatomical‑gift law after medical testimony and procedural safeguards discussed
Summary
Senate Bill 107, updating Utah's anatomical gift statute to add definitions, recognize technicians, permit certain next‑of‑kin gifts and clarify medical‑examiner procedures, was reported favorably after expert testimony and a motion to move into Committee of the Whole for technical explanation.
Senate Bill 107, presented Jan. 25, would amend Utah's anatomical gift law to add a definitions section, recognize enucleators and technicians for tissue procurement, allow next‑of‑kin to revoke or make donations after death (unless the donor explicitly refused while living), require hospitals to designate a staff member to discuss donation with families, and prohibit the sale or purchase of body parts.
