Bill overview
This bill proposes to provide financial stipends to South Dakota National Guard members who donate an organ for transplantation to another person. The amount of the stipend will vary depending on the member’s recovery time following the donation, with a lower amount for shorter recovery periods and a higher amount for longer ones. To be eligible, members must follow National Guard donation protocols, provide advance notice of their intent to donate, and undergo the donation at a designated transplant hospital. The bill also stipulates that members cannot be receiving paid leave from their employer for the same time.
