Passage of House Bill 2847, introduced by state Rep. Deb Conroy, will prohibit life, disability and long-term care insurers from discriminating against living organ donors by charging higher premiums or refusing to insure them altogether. It will also require employers to provide up to 60 business days of unpaid organ donation leave.

The passage of Senate Bill 68, introduced by state Sen. Julie Morrison, will give a tax credit to private employers for allowing employees 30 days of paid leave for organ donation. Together these two bills will help increase the number of living donors.
