Prevents discrimination against persons with physical or mental disabilities in regards to organ donations.

New York S02206 amends the mental hygiene law to add a new article titled the "Organ Donation Fairness Act." It prohibits discrimination against individuals with physical or mental disabilities in organ donation processes. Covered entities, including health care providers and organ donor matching entities, cannot deem individuals ineligible for organ transplants or deny related services based solely on their disability. The bill also mandates reasonable modifications to ensure accessibility and support for individuals with disabilities in the organ transplant process.
