525A.20 DONOR REGISTRY.
(a) The Department of Public Safety shall provide donor information to an organ procurement
organization or eye bank that administers any donor registry that this state establishes, contracts
for, or recognizes for the purpose of transferring to the donor registry all relevant information
regarding a donor's making, amendment to, or revocation of an anatomical gift.
(b) A donor registry must:
(1) allow a donor or other person authorized under section 525A.04 to include on the donor
registry a statement or symbol that the donor has made, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift;
(2) be accessible to a procurement organization to allow it 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, amended, or revoked an anatomical gift; and
(3) be accessible, for purposes of clauses (1) and (2), seven days a week on a 24-hour basis.
(c) Personally identifiable information on a donor registry about 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, at or near death
of the donor or prospective donor, whether the donor or prospective donor has made, amended, or
revoked an anatomical gift.
(d) This section does not prohibit any person from creating or maintaining a donor registry
that is not established by or under contract with the state. Any such registry must comply with
paragraphs (b) and (c).
