What this bill would do

The Living Donor Protection Act of 2025 aims to protect people who donate organs while they are alive from discrimination. It stops insurance companies from denying coverage or raising prices for life, disability, or long-term care insurance based solely on a person's status as a living organ donor. The bill also ensures that organ donation and recovery are recognized as serious health conditions for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act for private, public, and federal employees. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update educational materials to inform the public about these protections.
