To amend the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and title 5, United States Code, to clarify that organ donation surgery qualifies as a serious health condition.

This proposal makes it clear that taking time off for organ donation surgery, including recovery, counts as a serious health condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act. That means eligible workers can use job‑protected leave for the surgery and to heal afterward. It also updates rules for federal employees so the policy is consistent across workplaces.

Key points

• Who is affected: Workers covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and federal civil service employees.
• What changes: Organ donation surgery (and recovery) clearly qualifies for FMLA leave; federal employees who use FMLA time to donate an organ must first use any organ‑donor leave they have available under existing federal leave rules, as much as possible.
