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," specifying that only full-time employees who have been with their agency for at least twelve months are eligible for this leave. Additionally, it outlines the notification process for employees who learn of their surgery date with less than thirty days' notice and clarifies that this leave will count as full-time employment for career service purposes.

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 adjust 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 will not be considered in any insurance-related decisions, thereby protecting the rights of organ donors in the insurance market.
