S.1782

Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act

Introduced·5/15/25

Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act prohibits organ transplant discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

The Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act aims to prevent discrimination against individuals with disabilities in organ transplant processes. It allows covered entities to consider a disability only if it is medically significant to the transplant. The act prohibits the board of directors from hindering access to transplants based on disability and mandates reasonable modifications for qualified individuals. It also ensures that individuals with disabilities are not denied organ transplants or related services due to the absence of auxiliary aids and services.
