Living Donor Protection Amendment Act of 2024

The Living Donor Protection Amendment Act of 2024 aims to prevent insurance companies in Washington, D.C., from discriminating against living organ donors. This legislation would prohibit insurers from denying coverage, canceling policies, charging higher premiums, or changing policy terms solely because an individual has donated an organ. The law specifically applies to life, disability, and long-term care insurance policies issued or delivered after January 1, 2025, and defines protected organs to include eyes, kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, pancreases, and various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. By adding these definitions and protections to existing D.C. insurance laws, the bill seeks to ensure that donors are not unfairly treated in the insurance market.
