person is already required by AS 13.50.014(b) to adopt the                     
procedures, a person who is a bank or storage facility or who                  
handles the procurement of anatomical requests shall develop                   
procedures that specify the circumstances under which it is                    
inappropriate to request a gift, such as if the gift is unsuitable, if         
the request is likely to offend the donor's religious beliefs, or if           
making the request is likely to cause undue emotional distress to              
the person who would be making the gift.  The procedures must
