This bill aims to provide specific protections and benefits for state employees who are living organ donors. It introduces a new section to the Arkansas Code that grants state employees a leave of absence for up to twelve weeks for recovery from surgery related to organ donation. The bill defines key terms such as "living organ donor," "organ," and "state employee," specifying that the leave applies to full-time employees who have been with their state agency for at least twelve months, excluding certain officials like members of the General Assembly and employees of the Secretary of State and Treasurer of State. Additionally, it requires employees to notify their agency as soon as possible if they learn of their surgery date less than thirty days in advance.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits discrimination against living organ donors in the context of life insurance. It establishes that life insurers cannot cancel, limit, or deny coverage, nor can they set different premium rates based on an individual's status as a living organ donor. The bill ensures that an individual's decision to donate an organ cannot be used against them in any insurance-related matters, thereby promoting fairness and support for organ donation among state employees.
