Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Paid donor leave for public employees
Beginning October 1, 2026, eligible Alabama public employees get paid donor leave without using other accrued or available leave. The limits are 30 days for organ donation and seven days for bone marrow donation. Coverage includes permanent state, county, and municipal employees with at least one year of service. Other permanent public employees qualify after one year if paid partly or fully from Alabama’s General Fund or Education Trust Fund and not already covered. Employees must submit a written request, verification from the doctor performing the procedure, and the required supervisor or appointing-authority recommendation. State requests need State Director of Personnel approval; other requests need approval from the designated appointing authority or executive. Covered county, municipal, and other state-affiliated employers cannot punish employees for requesting or using this leave; this specific protection excludes state employees covered only by the state-employee provision.
Employer tax credit for donor leave
For tax years 2027–2031, private employers can claim an Alabama income tax credit for paid organ-donation leave. The credit equals 25% of gross pay for up to 30 leave days, capped at $2,000 per employer each year. Employers need a written policy offering W-2 employees at least 15 paid days without reducing pay or using other leave. Those protected leave balances include vacation, compensatory time, personal days, and sick leave. The policy must require signed employee consent to share medical proof of donation with the employer and Alabama Department of Revenue. Disclosure must follow HIPAA medical privacy rules. If a medical determination after approval finds the employee does not qualify as a donor, only pay through that date counts. Unused credits can carry forward for up to three following tax years but cannot be sold or transferred. The Department of Revenue administers the credit and issues rules, forms, and worksheets.
Insurance protections for living organ donors
Beginning October 1, 2026, Alabama insurers cannot discriminate solely because someone is a living organ donor without added insurance risk. This covers life, disability, and long-term care insurance. Insurers cannot deny or limit coverage, cancel or refuse renewal, charge different premiums, or impose different terms on that basis. They also cannot require someone to agree not to donate an organ to renew a policy. Insurers can still make decisions based on added risk supported by insurance risk calculations.
