Bans hospitals from using vaccination status to decide who gets an organ transplant.

This bill would stop hospitals from considering a person's vaccination status when deciding who receives an organ transplant. It would ensure that individuals needing a transplant are judged on other medical factors, not whether they are vaccinated. This changes current rules that do not explicitly prevent hospitals from using vaccination status in these decisions.

What Would Change

Today, federal law does not explicitly stop hospitals from considering a person's vaccination status when deciding who gets an organ transplant. If this bill becomes law, hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals would be legally prohibited from using vaccination status as a factor in these critical decisions.

Key Provisions

Prohibits hospitals, critical access hospitals, and rural emergency hospitals from considering a person's vaccination status when deciding who gets an organ transplant.
