What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill protects people who donate an organ while they are still alive. It says insurance companies cannot cancel, deny, or charge higher prices for life insurance, disability insurance, or long-term insurance just because someone donated an organ. It also makes clear that recovering from organ donation surgery counts as a serious health condition, which means eligible workers can take job-protected medical leave for it. The bill also requires the Department of Health and Human Services to update its educational materials about living organ donation to include information about the benefits, risks, and how donation affects insurance access.
