What this bill would do

The Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act aims to stop discrimination based on mental or physical disabilities during the organ transplant process. It prohibits covered entities from denying an individual an organ transplant, a referral, or a place on a waiting list solely because of a disability. The bill requires these entities to make reasonable modifications to their policies and procedures to assist qualified individuals. It also mandates the use of auxiliary aids and services to ensure access to transplants and related services. Finally, it establishes enforcement through the Office for Civil Rights and requires annual reports to Congress.
