Plain-English Summary

Workers who donate organs would be able to take unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, the same protection currently available for other serious medical conditions. This change would apply to both private sector employees and federal government workers, ensuring they have job protection while recovering from organ donation surgery. The bill clarifies that organ donation qualifies as a legitimate reason to take protected leave without risking job loss.
