Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2025

This bill, titled the "Consensual Donation and Research Integrity Act of 2025," amends the Public Health Service Act to establish a regulatory framework for human bodies and body parts donated or transferred for education, research, or the advancement of medical, dental, or mortuary science. These provisions specifically apply to materials not intended for human transplantation , aiming to ensure both the consensual nature of donations and the respectful disposition of remains. A central provision requires any person who acquires and sells for profit whole human bodies or body parts in interstate commerce to register with the Secretary. Registrants must provide detailed operational information and assure compliance with inspection, record-keeping, labeling, and packaging standards. The bill mandates comprehensive record-keeping for each acquisition, including documentation of the donor's knowing consent, medical history, and the chain of custody, along with specific requirements for labeling and packaging that explicitly state "not for transplantation." The Secretary will conduct regular inspections and establish fees for registration. Registrants are responsible for the proper disposition of human bodies or body parts according to applicable laws. Violations can lead to fines and the suspension or revocation of registration , including penalties for altering or falsifying labels.
