An individual who has agreed to participate in the donor registry shall not be considered to have revoked that agreement solely because the individual’s official state personal identification card has expired. Enrollment in the donor registry constitutes a legal agreement that remains binding and in effect after the donor’s death regardless of the expressed desires of the deceased donor’s next of kin who may oppose the donor’s anatomical gift.

(21) A valid official state personal identification card presented by the individual to whom the card is issued shall be considered the same as a valid state of Michigan driver license when identification is requested except as otherwise specifically provided by law.
