Prevents discrimination against organ transplant candidates based on disability status.
The problem
People with disabilities may face barriers receiving organ transplants due to disability-based discrimination in medical decision-making by transplant programs.
The proposal
Prohibits organ transplant programs from denying or delaying transplants solely because someone has a disability unrelated to transplant success.
The impact
Organ transplant candidates with disabilities, transplant programs, and healthcare providers. Ensures equal access to life-saving transplants regardless of disability status.
Ensures people with disabilities have fair consideration for organ transplants. Prevents medical teams from automatically excluding qualified candidates based on disability alone. Aligns transplant decisions with actual medical factors.
Implements Americans with Disabilities Act principles in transplant settings. Clarifies that disability discrimination in transplants violates federal law. Provides specific legal grounds to challenge unfair practices.
Requires transplant programs to evaluate candidates based on medical need and likelihood of success, not disability stereotypes. Removes bias from life-or-death medical decisions. Promotes evidence-based transplant allocation.
Transplant programs must update policies and staff training to comply. New legal requirements may increase administrative costs. Programs need clearer guidelines for disability-related medical assessments.
Distinguishing between disability discrimination and legitimate medical concerns can be difficult. Some disabilities may genuinely affect transplant success or recovery. Law must balance protection with sound medical decision-making.
While ensuring fair consideration, the bill doesn't address the shortage of available organs. More eligible candidates may increase waiting times for all patients. Underlying scarcity of organs continues.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
