Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-109: Anatomical Donor Program Registration Act

A. This section shall be known and may be cited as the

"Anatomical Donor Program Registration Act".

B. The State Anatomical Board shall register all anatomical

donor programs and non-transplant tissue banks in the state which

meet the requirements of the Anatomical Donor Program Registration

Act.

C. Before an anatomical donor program or a non-transplant

tissue bank may receive whole body or partial body donations from

any person or entity inside or outside the state, the anatomical

donor program or non-transplant tissue bank shall register with the

Board.

D. The Board shall specify the eligibility requirements for

registration as an anatomical donor program or non-transplant tissue

bank which, at a minimum, shall require such entities to be non-

profit organizations.

E. The Board shall prescribe rules of conduct governing the

practice of anatomical donor programs or non-transplant tissue banks

registered pursuant to the Anatomical Donor Program Registration

Act.

F. In order to address persons or entities which violate the

provisions of the Anatomical Donor Program Registration Act or any

rules promulgated thereto, the Board may:

1. Deny the issuance of a registration or suspend, revoke, or

refuse to renew the registration of an anatomical donor program or

non-transplant tissue bank, provided, however, that the Board may

review, affirm, vacate, or modify a determination to deny, suspend,

revoke, or refuse registration if the anatomical donor program or

non-transplant tissue bank takes corrective actions;

2. Establish and administer administrative fines;

3. Initiate disciplinary or injunctive proceedings; and

4. Report alleged violations to the Attorney General or a

district attorney as appropriate for further investigation or

prosecution.

G. The Board shall report any violation it observes of the

Oklahoma Uniform Anatomical Gift Act to the State Department of

Health for further investigation and appropriate action.

H. The Board shall keep accurate and complete records of any

proceedings initiated under the Anatomical Donor Program

Registration Act.

I. The Board may issue a temporary registration to an

anatomical donor program or non-transplant tissue bank which was

previously registered but whose facilities were destroyed or damaged

in order that, when appropriate safeguards are in place, the

anatomical donor program or non-transplant tissue bank may continue

to operate. During the effective period of the temporary

registration, the Board may waive certain requirements if the

anatomical donor program or non-transplant tissue bank is making a

good faith effort to rebuild and restore its operations in order to

meet all registration requirements.

J. The Board may maintain an office or secure facilities as

deemed necessary by the Board in order to implement the Anatomical

Donor Program Registration Act.

K. The Board shall promulgate rules as necessary to implement

the provisions of the Anatomical Donor Program Registration Act.
