Organ donation; condition of donation or receipt on vaccine status prohibited, Attorney General authorized to enforce

HB 519, known as The Adaline Deal Act, prohibits hospitals, transplant centers, insurance providers, and healthcare professionals from requiring individuals to be vaccinated (or unvaccinated) to donate or receive organs. It directly affects organ donation processes by banning vaccine status as a condition for either donation or transplantation. The bill authorizes Alabama’s Attorney General to enforce this rule, seek court orders to stop violations, and impose $50,000 fines on violators. The law takes effect on October 1, 2025, and is currently pending in the House Health Committee.
