(B) Consent for organs or tissues to be donated for transplant after death.
(C) Any limitation of the donation to specific organs, tissues, or research.

(4) The registry enrollment form shall be posted on the Internet Web sites for the department and the California Health and Human Services Agency.
(5) The form shall constitute a legal document under the Uniform Anatomical Gift Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 7150) of Part 1 of Division 7 of the Health and Safety Code).
(6) The registrar shall ensure that all additions and deletions to the registry shall occur within 30 days of receipt.
