Honor Our Living Donors Act

S 957, the Honor Our Living Donors Act, amends federal law to protect living organ donors by requiring reimbursement programs to ignore the income of the organ recipient when calculating donor payments. The bill specifically prohibits grant programs from considering the recipient's income when reimbursing donors for eligible costs, ensuring donors aren't disadvantaged based on who receives the organ. It also mandates an annual report by the Secretary of Health and Human Services by December 31 each year, detailing whether funding covered all donor expenses and estimating shortfalls. This bill directly affects living organ donors participating in federal grant programs and the agencies administering those programs.
