AI Summary

This bill establishes the Massachusetts Prisoner Bone Marrow Donation Program within the Department of Correction. The program allows eligible prisoners to receive up to a 60-day reduction in their sentence for donating an amount of bone marrow determined by the Bone Marrow Donation Committee, which is composed of the Medical Director of the Department of Corrections, a bone marrow specialist from a Commonwealth hospital, and a representative of an organization advocating for bone marrow donations. The committee is responsible for implementing and administering the program, and they must file annual reports on the amounts of bone marrow donated and the estimated life-savings associated with those donations. All costs for the program will be borne by the benefiting institutions and their affiliates, not the Department of Correction, and there will be no commissions or monetary payments to the Department for the donated bone marrow.
