The bill amends the Michigan insurance code by adding a new section, 3406ww, which prohibits insurers from providing coverage for human organ transplants under specific conditions. Specifically, coverage is not allowed if the transplant operation occurs in China or any other country identified by the director of the Department of Health and Human Services as having participated in forced organ harvesting. Additionally, coverage is also denied if the organ to be transplanted was procured through sale or donation from such countries.

The bill defines "forced organ harvesting" as the removal of one or more organs from a living individual through coercion, abduction, deception, fraud, or abuse of power. This legislative measure aims to ensure that health insurance policies do not support practices associated with unethical organ procurement methods.
