HR 6020 United States House · 118th Congress

Honor Our Living Donors Act

HR 6020, the Honor Our Living Donors Act, amends federal law to ensure living organ donors are fully reimbursed for qualifying expenses without considering the recipient's income. It prohibits organ recipients from having their income factored into reimbursement calculations and requires the Secretary to annually report whether current funding covers all donor expenses, including estimates of unmet needs. This bill directly affects living organ donors and the federal reimbursement program under the Public Health Service Act.
