Specifically, a hospital would be required, upon a determination that a patient is suitable for an organ, tissue, or eye donation, to ensure that the family of such patient is approached by a "designated requestor" to request the family's consent for such donation. The bill adds definitions of "designated requestor" and "organ procurement organization."
