Bill Summary

Living organ donors; to prohibit discrimination in obtaining insurance coverage, provide paid medical leave for public employees who donate organs and a tax credit to private sector employers that provide similar paid leave to their employees

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Alabama Living Donor Protection Act, aims to safeguard individuals who donate organs by prohibiting insurers from discriminating against them in obtaining insurance coverage, meaning insurance companies cannot deny or limit coverage, increase prices, or cancel policies solely because someone is a living organ donor, provided there's no additional actuarial risk. Additionally, the bill establishes paid medical leave for public employees in Alabama who donate organs or bone marrow, with specific durations of up to 30 days for organ donation and seven days for bone marrow donation, ensuring this leave doesn't reduce their other accrued leave. For private sector employers, the bill introduces a tax credit for providing similar paid leave to their employees for organ donation, encouraging businesses to support their workers through this process.
