- Record of bodies received.
Any and all schools, colleges, and persons who may be designated
by the Anatomical Board shall be, and are, authorized to dissect,
operate upon, examine and experiment upon bodies distributed to them
by the Board's agent and no others. The schools, colleges and
designated persons are also authorized to retain tissue from bodies
distributed to them and to donate the tissue to a person or entity
for the purpose of training a dog to search for human remains;
provided, any tissue donated for said purpose shall not be
transferred, sold or used for any other purpose than training dogs
to search for human remains. If any human tissue that has been
donated for canine training is lost or stolen, the theft shall be
reported to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation by the person
or entity that received the donation. Such dissections, operations,
examinations and experiments shall not be considered as amenable
under any already existing laws for the prevention of mutilation of
dead human bodies. Such persons, schools or colleges shall keep a
record, sufficient for identification, of each body received from
the Anatomical Board or agent. The record shall be subject to
inspection by the Board or its authorized officer or agent.
