AI Summary

This bill, the Living Donor Protection Act of 2025, aims to safeguard individuals who donate organs while they are alive. It prohibits insurance companies from denying, canceling, or increasing the cost of life insurance, disability insurance (which provides income if an illness or injury prevents someone from working), or long-term care insurance solely because a person is a living organ donor, unless there's a unique and significant actuarial risk. The bill also clarifies that organ donation surgery, including preparation and recovery, qualifies as a serious health condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), allowing eligible employees to take protected leave for these purposes, and federal employees can use available leave to cover this time. Finally, it mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update educational materials about living organ donation to include information about these new protections.
