Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act
Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act
Prohibits denying or delaying organ transplant evaluations, listings, transplants, or related services solely because a person has a disability. It requires covered entities (including health care providers and transplant programs) to use individualized medical evaluations, provide reasonable modifications and supports, and avoid blanket policies that exclude people with disabilities; people can complain to the HHS Office for Civil Rights if they believe their rights were violated. The Act also clarifies definitions, extends protections across the evaluation-to-post-transplant timeline, and preserves stronger state or local protections where they exist.
