13Illinois Vehicle Code.
14    (b-10) An anatomical gift made by will takes effect upon
15the donor's death whether or not the will is probated.
16Invalidation of the will after the donor's death does not
17invalidate the gift.
18    (c) The anatomical gift may be made to a specified donee or
19without specifying a donee. If the gift is made to a specified
20donee who is not available at the time and place of death, then
21if made for the purpose of transplantation, it shall be
22effectuated in accordance with Section 5-25.
23    (d) The donee or other person authorized to accept the
24gift pursuant to Section 5-12 may employ or authorize any

7    (e-5) An anatomical gift by a person authorized under
8subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be amended or revoked orally
9or in a record by a member of a prior class who is reasonably
10available for the giving of authorization or refusal. If more
11than one member of the prior class is reasonably available for
12the giving of authorization or refusal, the gift made by a
13person authorized under subsection (b) of Section 5-5 may be:

19    refusal agree to the revoking of the gift or if they are
20    equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.
21    (e-10) A revocation under subsection (e-5) is effective
22only if, before an incision has been made to remove a part from
23the donor's body or before invasive procedures have been
24commenced to prepare the recipient, the procurement
25organization, non-transplant anatomic bank, transplant
26hospital, or physician or technician knows of the revocation.
