## Summary

**Classifies human cadaveric islets as organs for transplantation.** This bill would treat islets the same way the law treats organs, not as drugs, biological products, or standard cell or tissue products, and it sets deadlines for HHS to update rules and report progress. - Families and patients: People awaiting islet transplants would be covered by organ-transplant rules, which changes which federal standards apply to their treatment. - Transplant centers and clinicians: Hospitals, transplant programs, and organ procurement groups would follow organ transplantation regulations for handling and using cadaveric islets instead of drug, biologic, or HCT/P rules. - Federal agencies: The Department of Health and Human Services must revise regulations under the Public Health Service Act and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act within 1 year and send a progress report to Congress within 6 months.
