Bill Summary
AN ACT PROHIBITING NORTH CAROLINA TRANSPLANT CENTERS FROM DISCRIMINATING AGAINST INDIVIDUALS SEEKING TO DONATE OR RECEIVE AN ANATOMICAL GIFT OR ORGAN TRANSPLANT SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF THEIR COVID-19 VACCINATION STATUS.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits North Carolina transplant centers from discriminating against individuals seeking to donate or receive an organ transplant solely on the basis of their COVID-19 vaccination status. The bill amends state laws to clarify that the life of an individual who needs an organ transplant and refuses to submit to a COVID-19 vaccination is as worthy and valuable as the life of an individual who needs a transplant and willingly submits to vaccination. The bill also requires transplant centers to make reasonable modifications to their policies and procedures to allow unvaccinated individuals access to transplantation-related services. The provisions of the bill apply to all stages of the organ transplant process.
