A. A natural or juridical person possessing human remains in violation of this Chapter may voluntarily relinquish possession of such human remains to the Louisiana Department of Justice without sanctions under this Chapter. The attorney general shall be vested with the authority and discretion to waive civil sanctions under this Chapter for any person who voluntarily relinquishes human remains.

B. Upon voluntarily relinquishing human remains pursuant to this Chapter, any person may designate which qualified entity or entities the human remains should be transmitted to for permanent curation following analysis for compliance with other laws.
