Illinois Anatomical Gift Act

The Anatomical Gift Act governs the donation of human organs, tissues, and other anatomical material for purposes such as transplantation, therapy, research, and education. It establishes a defined vocabulary for anatomical gifts and sets out the objectives the law is meant to serve, providing a common legal framework under which such gifts are made and recognized. As a uniform act, it gives adopting jurisdictions a shared baseline structure, which each may modify in its own enactment.
