AB 1268 (Irwin) Franchise Tax Board: returns: organ donor elections and data sharing.
Donate Life California is overjoyed to announce the successful passage of groundbreaking legislation that promises to revolutionize organ donation in our state. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported this cause and helped make this legislation a reality. A special thank you to Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), for making it all possible and being a champion for our cause. Your commitment to saving lives is truly inspiring.
Stay tuned as we share more details about how this legislation will change the landscape of organ donation in California. Together, we’re making a difference.
Summary: This bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to revise the California resident income tax return to include a check box for an individual taxpayer who self-prepares the taxpayer’s return to elect to be an organ donor with Donate Life California and would require the Franchise Tax Board to annually send that information to Donate Life California with respect to an individual taxpayer who has elected to be an organ donor.
