This bill provides that an organ donor designation on a driver's permit, driver's license, or identification card is to remain upon the renewal of the permit, license, or identification card, and upon the subsequent issuance of a license or identification card to the person. The Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is required to provide an opportunity to remove the organ donor designation upon renewal of the permit, license, or identification card and subsequent issuance of a license or identification card to the person.
