Several new driving laws will go into effect in California come Jan. 1, 2011. The following is affects the California Donor Registry
Organ Donation (SB 1395/Alquist). Starting July 1, the language on the DMV's application for a driver license will include a "no" option relative to an applicant's willingness to register as a prospective organ donor to increase the number of enrollees in the organ donor program. This change will now require the organ donor registration field of the application to be answered with either a yes or no response.

Correction:
Organ Donation (SB 1395/Alquist) Starting July 1, the language on the DMV's application offers the driver license applicant the option to register as a prospective organ donor in the organ donor program or to defer that decision to a later time. This change will now include in the organ donor registration field of the application check boxes indicating (A) Yes, add my name to the donor registry or (B) I do not wish to register at this time, thus ensuring that the applicant’s failure to check the box is not simply an oversight.
