What it does
The bill would amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and title 5 of the United States Code to explicitly clarify that organ donation surgery, including recovery from such surgery, qualifies as a serious health condition for the purpose of taking medical leave. This change would affect private-sector employees under FMLA and federal civil service employees under title 5, ensuring they are eligible for job-protected leave when serving as organ donors. For federal employees, the bill also requires that any leave taken for organ donation be substituted, to the extent possible, with available leave under section 6327 of title 5.
