Senate Bill 187 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Anatomical Board of the State of Texas to develop and make available on its website an informational document to inform a person making a human body or anatomical specimen donation for research or education of the risks and benefits of such a donation. The bill requires the board to prescribe a chain-of-custody form and adopt rules ensuring that the container in which a body or anatomical specimen is transported is labeled in a specified manner and that the form is completed, maintained, and transferred by each person having control or possession of the body or anatomical specimen.
