Bill > S602

This bill aims to combat forced organ harvesting and trafficking in persons for the purpose of organ removal. Key provisions include: - Establishing a U.S. policy to combat international organ trafficking and promote voluntary organ donation systems. - Defining key terms like "forced organ harvesting" and "trafficking in persons for purposes of the removal of organs." - Allowing the Secretary of State to deny or revoke passports for individuals convicted of organ trafficking. - Requiring the State Department to report on forced organ harvesting and trafficking in foreign countries as part of annual human rights reports. - Prohibiting the export of organ transplant surgery devices to entities responsible for forced organ harvesting. - Imposing sanctions on individuals and entities from "Tier 3" countries (those with high levels of forced organ harvesting) that facilitate these practices. The bill aims to address the global issue of forced organ harvesting, which involves the coercive removal of organs from individuals, often through human trafficking, and promote ethical and voluntary organ donation systems instead.
