The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend various sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow insurers and the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to limit coverage for human organ transplants or post-transplant care under specific conditions. These conditions include if the transplant operation is performed in the People's Republic of China or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, or if the organ was procured from these regions. The bill introduces new sections to title 20 and title 36 of the statutes, detailing the limitations on coverage for different types of insurance policies, including subscription contracts, evidence of coverage, disability insurance, and group or blanket disability insurance.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the authorization to limit coverage does not require insurers to provide coverage for human organ transplants nor does it restrict them from denying coverage for valid reasons. The legislation is designated as the "Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act" and is set to take effect on the general effective date. Overall, the bill aims to address concerns regarding organ procurement practices in specific regions while providing insurers with the ability to manage their coverage policies accordingly.
