The board shall make the information available to the public and appropriate state agencies.
(b) The board by rule shall establish methods by which service recipients can be notified of the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the board for the purpose of directing complaints to the board. The board may provide for that notification by including the information on each written contract relating to bodies willed or donated to an entity regulated by the board or authorized by the board to receive bodies.
