Rule 641-122.1 - Scope and Purpose

The anatomical gift public awareness and transplantation fund was established by the legislature as a separate fund consisting of monetary contributions collected by county treasurers during the vehicle registration process and other contributions to the fund. Not more than 20 percent of the moneys in the fund annually may be expended in the form of grants to state agencies or to nonprofit legal entities. Not more than 30 percent of the moneys in the fund annually may be expended in the form of grants to hospitals for reimbursement for costs directly related to the development of in-hospital anatomical gift public awareness projects, anatomical gift referral protocols, and associated administrative expenses. Any unobligated moneys in the fund annually may be expended in the form of grants to transplant recipients, transplant candidates, living organ donors, or to legal representatives on behalf of transplant recipients, transplant candidates, or living organ donors for the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance. These rules shall be implemented only to the extent that funding is available.
