Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act

This bill stops doctors and organ transplant organizations from denying organ transplants to people just because they have a disability. They can only consider a person's disability when making transplant decisions if a doctor determines through an individual evaluation that the disability is medically important for the transplant procedure. If someone has good support to help them follow medical care instructions, their disability cannot be considered medically important. These organizations must also make reasonable changes to their rules to help people with disabilities get transplants and related care more easily.
