## Summary

**Protects living organ donors from insurance discrimination.** This bill would bar life, disability, and long-term care insurers from denying coverage, canceling policies, refusing to issue policies, or charging different premiums solely because someone donated an organ, unless there is a real, unique actuarial risk tied to donation. - Living donors: Would prevent insurers from denying or raising costs for life, disability, or long-term care insurance based only on donor status when no unique actuarial risk exists. - State regulators: Leaves enforcement to state insurance regulators acting under each state's laws. - Public and potential donors: Requires the Department of Health and Human Services to update public education materials within 6 months, using organdonor.gov, public service announcements, and other media to explain donation risks, benefits, and the new insurance protections.
