Inserts a new subsection (c) prohibiting grant recipients from considering the organ recipient's income when providing reimbursements; redesignates former subsections (c)–(f) as (d)–(g); and updates cross-references in the subsection redesignated as (f) to refer to the new subsection numbers.
Amends section 377(e) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 274f(e)) by (1) adding the word "or" at the end of paragraph (1), (2) striking paragraph (2) and inserting a period, and (3) striking paragraph (3).
Prohibits grant-funded programs that reimburse organ donors from taking the organ recipient’s income into account when deciding donor reimbursement. It makes small technical edits to the existing statute and adds an annual requirement for the Secretary of Health and Human Services to report to Congress and publish whether prior-year grant funds were sufficient to fully reimburse donors, how many donors were under-reimbursed, and the additional amount needed to make them whole.
