Deletes everything. Amends the Organ Donation Request Act. Provides that when a potential donor or an individual given authority to consent to an organ donation expresses an interest in organ donation and there has not been a certification of brain death for the potential donor and the potential organ donor is a patient at a hospital that does not allow donation after cardiac death, then the organ procurement agency must inform the patient or individual given authority to consent to organ donation that the hospital does not allow donation after cardiac death. Sets forth requirements for written notification, including notification that the cost of transferring a patient to another hospital that will allow donation after cardiac death will be covered by the organ procurement agency, with no additional cost to the patient or the individual given authority to consent to organ donation.
