AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's tax code to provide a tax deduction for individuals who donate human organs for transplantation. Specifically, the bill allows taxpayers to deduct up to $12,000 for unreimbursed expenses related to organ donation, including travel, lodging, lost wages, and medical expenses. The deduction is limited to the actual unreimbursed costs and cannot reduce taxable income below zero. A taxpayer can only claim this deduction once in their lifetime, and it must be claimed in the tax year when the organ transplantation occurred. The bill defines "human organ" to include all or part of a liver, pancreas, kidney, intestine, lung, or bone marrow. The new tax provision will apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, and is intended to provide financial relief and incentive for individuals who generously donate organs to help others in need of transplants.
