19      (1)   When calculating taxable income on the annual personal
20   income tax return, a taxpayer may deduct an amount not to exceed
21   ten thousand dollars ($10,000) if, while living, the taxpayer or
22   the taxpayer's dependent donates one or more of his or her human
 1   organs to another human being for human organ transplantation
 2   and incurs any of the following unreimbursed expenses which are

12      (3)    A deduction under this subsection may only be claimed in
13   the taxable year in which the human organ transplantation
14   occurred. A taxpayer may claim the deduction under this
