Urges U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to reconsider implementation of new rules concerning organ procurement organizations.

This legislative resolution asks the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to reconsider new regulations governing organ procurement organizations. The bill highlights concerns that these rules, which require organizations to compete for service areas and face potential removal if they miss performance targets, could disrupt the organ donation system and reduce the number of transplants available to patients. The sponsor argues that the proposed changes might create uncertainty for healthcare providers and negatively impact access to organs, particularly for minority communities. Ultimately, the resolution urges federal agencies to evaluate whether the new approach will improve outcomes or instead harm the efficiency and equity of the national organ transplant network.
