Section 19a-289s. - Requirements re donor registry.

(a) A donor registry shall be: (1) A database that includes individuals who have made an anatomical gift; (2) accessible to a procurement organization in order to allow such procurement organization the ability to obtain relevant information on the donor registry to determine, at or near death of the donor or a prospective donor, whether the donor or prospective donor has made an anatomical gift; and (3) accessible for the purposes of this subsection seven days a week, twenty-four hours per day. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to require the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide access to data maintained by the department under section 14-42a in any manner that is inconsistent with said section 14-42a.

(b) Personally identifiable information on a donor registry concerning a donor or prospective donor may not be used or disclosed without the express consent of the donor, prospective donor or person that made the anatomical gift for any purpose other than to determine whether the donor or prospective donor has made an anatomical gift.
(c) Nothing in this section shall prohibit any person from creating or maintaining a donor registry that is not established by or under contract with the state. Any such established registry shall comply with the requirements of subsections (a) and (b) of this section.
