Bill overview
This bill amends the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to specifically include recovery from organ donation surgery as a ‘serious health condition’ that qualifies for leave. Currently, the FMLA definition of a serious health condition doesn’t explicitly mention organ donation surgery. This change would allow employees, both in the private sector and in federal civil service, to take FMLA leave to recover from this type of surgery. It also clarifies how organ donation leave interacts with the standard FMLA leave period.
