Bill overview
The Organ Donation Clarification Act of 2020 aims to increase organ donation rates by clarifying the definition of ‘valuable consideration’ under the National Organ Transplant Act. It allows for pilot programs to test incentives and non-cash benefits for donors, excluding certain reimbursements and payments like dependent care costs, medical expenses, and life insurance, up to specified limits. The bill also seeks to remove legal barriers to these programs and encourages states and local governments to explore ways to promote organ donation while upholding ethical standards.
