Provides that the Department shall update the lists with any new information within 5 business days (instead of 24 hours) of receiving the information. Provides that the listing of cadavers and all associated information maintained by the Department or other State facilities regarding a cadaver and its disposition are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Provides that the Department shall establish by rule appropriate processes for family members of the deceased to access information in the listing. Provides that the Department may provide summary reports of aggregated data as determined by the Department, and that the summary reports are not exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Provides that the Department may (instead of shall) designate the next institution to receive a cadaver when requested from (instead of by) a State facility. Provides that if the number of cadavers is insufficient for the use of the relevant institutions, the Department may (instead of shall) determine which institution shall receive them.
