Allows individuals to register in the donate life registry through personal income tax filings

Summary

The legislation adds a new tax‑law section that requires the Department of Taxation to offer a consent box on resident income‑tax returns filed through approved software. If a filer checks the box, the department will share the person's name, Social Security number and other data with the state Donate Life registry to enroll them as an organ, eye and tissue donor. The change expands the ways New Yorkers can register their consent, aiming to increase donor numbers.
