Title

Living organ donors; to prohibit discrimination in obtaining insurance coverage, provide paid medical leave for public employees who donate organs and a tax credit to private sector employers that provide similar paid leave to their employees

Description

Existing law in this state makes provision for post-mortem anatomical gifts, but does not recognize or afford protection to living organ donors.

This bill would prohibit an insurer from discriminating against an organ donor in the provision of disability, life, or long-term care insurance coverage.

This bill would further require that public sector employers offer paid leave to employees who undergo medical procedures to donate organs.

This bill would also provide a tax credit to private sector employers who grant paid leave to employees who donate organs, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, for five years.
