A. The director shall establish procedures:
1. To provide that a person applying for a driver license, permit or nonoperating identification license pursuant to this chapter automatically consents to be an organ donor and the application is considered to be a document of gift unless the person indicates the person's preference not to be an organ donor pursuant to paragraph 2.

The department shall not implement this section unless the organ procurement organization that is located in this state and that meets the requirements of section 371 of the public health service act (58 Stat. 682; 42 United States Code section 273) provides adequate funding to the department to cover the costs the department will incur in implementing this section.
