What it does
The Honor Our Living Donors Act would amend the Public Health Service Act to prohibit consideration of an organ recipient’s income when reimbursing living donors for expenses related to donation. It would also remove certain language implying an expectation of payment from recipients and require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to submit an annual report to Congress assessing whether grant funding adequately covers all qualifying expenses for donors, including estimates of unmet needs and necessary funding levels. The bill aims to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from donating organs and that donors are fully reimbursed regardless of the recipient’s income.
