AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot program for public employees in the Commonwealth with the goal of increasing the living organ donation option. The program will be capped at 100 participants and will explore different methods of incentivizing participation, involving compensation that is regulated and not based on a free-market approach. The compensation will be designed to account for the hardship endured by the donating individual, without affecting the donor's insurance coverage, allowed time off, or any other current benefits offered to living organ donors.
