SECTION 50:10-3-4. Transfer of bodies
Latest version.
- (a) Application for transfer. Institutions desiring the transfer of a body to their institution must make written request to the executive director of the Board. Reasons for the need for a body must be stated.(b) Approval of transfer. The executive director is authorized to approve transfers. Although the law provides for private physicians to be authorized to receive bodies, it is the belief of the Board that, in general, a physician should arrange to do anatomical work at a medical or dental school or at an institution recognized or registered by the Board.(c) Availability. While the executive director of the Board shall make diligent efforts to locate a source of bodies for transfer, final authorization for such transfer shall be dependent on the willingness of a member institution to provide the required body or bodies. Costs of the body and for transportation shall be borne by the institution receiving the transferred body.(d) Disposal of transferred bodies. Unless other suitable arrangements have been made and approved by the executive director or the Board in advance, transferred bodies on which dissection has been completed shall be returned to the institution originally providing the body for final disposition.
