Plain-English Summary

This bill would protect people who donate organs or bone marrow to help sick relatives or strangers by preventing health insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on their donation status. It would also ensure that living donors aren't penalized financially or professionally for taking time off work to recover from the donation procedure. The legislation aims to remove barriers that might discourage people from becoming organ donors.
