Bill > S01594

This bill enacts the "New York State Living Donor Support Act" to provide state reimbursement to living organ donors, who are state residents, for medical and associated expenses incurred as a result of the organ donation, when the organ donation is made to another resident of the state. The bill also requires the provision of information on transplantation to patients with severe kidney disease. The key provisions of the bill include establishing a living donor support program to reimburse eligible living donor expenses, such as lost wages, travel, and medical costs, and requiring nephrologists or primary care practitioners to provide transplant education materials to patients with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease.
