Tennessee SB0579 mandates leave for state employees who donate organs and prohibits insurers from discriminating against living organ donors.
Tennessee SB0579 amends several state codes to support living organ donors. It requires employers to grant eligible employees up to twelve weeks of leave for recovery from organ donation surgery, with notice given as soon as possible if the surgery date is known less than thirty days in advance. The bill also prohibits insurers from denying, canceling, or varying terms of life, disability, or long-term care insurance policies based solely on an individual's status as a living organ donor.
