Bill > HB2109

This bill introduces provisions across multiple sections of Arizona law to limit insurance coverage for organ transplants and post-transplant care that have connections to the People's Republic of China or Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Specifically, the bill allows various types of insurance providers (including subscription contracts, health care service organizations, disability insurers, and state medical administration) to limit or deny coverage for organ transplants if the transplant operation is performed in China or Hong Kong, or if the organ was procured through sale or donation originating from those regions. The bill does not mandate coverage for organ transplants and preserves insurers' existing rights to deny coverage for other valid reasons. This legislation appears to be aimed at addressing concerns about organ harvesting practices, giving insurance providers the ability to exclude coverage for transplants potentially associated with controversial organ procurement methods. The bill is officially titled the "Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act" and would take effect upon approval, which is dated May 6, 2025, in the document.
