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 allows state employees to take up to twelve weeks of leave for recovery after organ donation surgery. The bill defines key terms such as "living organ donor," "organ," and "state employee," and specifies that this leave is considered full-time employment for the purpose of calculating career service anniversary dates. Additionally, it outlines the notification process for employees who learn of their surgery date with less than thirty days' notice.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits discrimination against individuals applying for life insurance based on their status as living organ donors. It establishes that life insurers cannot cancel, limit, or deny coverage, nor can they set different premium rates due to an individual's organ donor status. This provision aims to ensure that living organ donors are treated fairly in the insurance market, reinforcing the importance of organ donation and supporting those who choose to donate.
