Sec. 5-20.
Manner of executing anatomical gifts.
14
(a) A donor may make an anatomical gift:
15
(1) by authorizing a statement or symbol indicating
16
that the donor has made an anatomical gift to be imprinted
17
on the donor's driver's license or identification card;
18
(2) in a will;
19
(3) during a terminal illness or injury of the donor,
20
by any form of communication addressed to at least 2
21
adults, at least one of whom is a disinterested witness;
22
or
23
(4) as provided in subsection (b) and (b-1) of this
24
Section.
25
(b) A donor or other person authorized to make an
SB0087
- 56 -
LRB104 06664 BAB 16700 b
1
anatomical gift under subsection (a) of Section 5-5 may make a
2
gift by a donor card or other record signed by the donor or
3
other person making the gift or by authorizing that a
4
statement or symbol indicating that the donor has made an
5
anatomical gift be included on a donor registry. If the donor
6
or other person is physically unable to sign a record, the
7
record may be signed by another individual at the direction of
8
the donor or other person and must:
9
(1) be witnessed by at least 2 adults, at least one of
10
whom is a disinterested witness, who have signed at the
11
request of the donor or the other person; and
12
(2) state that it has been signed and witnessed as
13
provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection (b).
14
(b-1) A gift under Section 5-5 (a) may also be made by an

individual consenting to have his or her name included in the
16
First Person Consent organ and tissue donor registry
17
maintained by the Secretary of State under Section 6-117 of
18
the Illinois Vehicle Code. An individual's consent to have his
19
or her name included in the First Person Consent organ and
20
tissue donor registry constitutes full legal authority for the
21
donation of any of his or her organs or tissue for purposes of
22
transplantation, therapy, or research. Consenting to be
23
included in the First Person Consent organ and tissue donor
24
registry is effective without regard to the presence or
25
signature of witnesses.
26
(b-5) Revocation, suspension, expiration, or cancellation
SB0087
- 57 -

Secretary of State shall provide all donors with the universal

7
Illinois Vehicle Code.
8
(b-10) An anatomical gift made by will takes effect upon
9
the donor's death whether or not the will is probated.
10
Invalidation of the will after the donor's death does not
11
invalidate the gift.
12
(c) The anatomical gift may be made to a specified donee or
13
without specifying a donee. If the gift is made to a specified
14
donee who is not available at the time and place of death, then
15
if made for the purpose of transplantation, it shall be
16
effectuated in accordance with Section 5-25.
17
(d) The donee or other person authorized to accept the
18
gift pursuant to Section 5-12 may employ or authorize any
19
qualified technician, surgeon, or physician to perform the
20
recovery.
21
(e) A person authorized to make an anatomical gift under
22
subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may make an anatomical gift by a
23
document of gift signed by the person making the gift or by
24
that person's oral communication that is electronically
25
recorded or is contemporaneously reduced to a record and
26
signed by the individual receiving the oral communication.

(e-5) An anatomical gift by a person authorized under
2
subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be amended or revoked orally
3
or in a record by a member of a prior class who is reasonably
4
available for the giving of authorization or refusal. If more
5
than one member of the prior class is reasonably available for
6
the giving of authorization or refusal, the gift made by a
7
person authorized under subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be:
8
(1) amended only if a majority of the class members
9
reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
10
refusal agree to the amending of the gift; or
11
(2) revoked only if a majority of the class members
12
reasonably available for the giving of authorization or
13
refusal agree to the revoking of the gift or if they are
14
equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.
15
(e-10) A revocation under subsection (e-5) is effective
16
only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from
17
the donor's body or before invasive procedures have been
18
commenced to prepare the recipient, the procurement
19
organization, non-transplant anatomic bank, transplant
20
hospital, or physician or technician knows of the revocation.
21
(f) When there is a suitable candidate for organ donation
22
and a donation or consent to donate has not yet been given,
23
procedures to preserve the decedent's body for possible organ
24
and tissue donation may be implemented under the authorization
25
of the applicable organ procurement organization, at its own
26
expense, prior to making a donation request pursuant to
SB0087
- 59 -
LRB104 06664 BAB 16700 b
1
Section 5-25. If the organ procurement organization does not
2
locate a person authorized to consent to donation or consent
3
to donation is denied, then procedures to preserve the
4
decedent's body shall be ceased and no donation shall be made.
5
The organ procurement organization shall respect the religious
6
tenets of the decedent, if known, such as a pause after death,
7
before initiating preservation services. Nothing in this
8
Section shall be construed to authorize interference with the
9
coroner in carrying out an investigation or autopsy.
