This bill amends the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 33-57-2, which establishes protections for living organ donors in relation to health insurance coverage. It defines a "living organ donor" as an individual who has donated all or part of an organ and is not deceased. The bill prohibits insurers from denying coverage, increasing premiums, or canceling policies for individuals solely based on their status as living organ donors.

Specifically, the bill states that insurers cannot decline or limit coverage under sickness, disability, or long-term care insurance policies due to a person's status as a living organ donor. Additionally, it prevents insurers from imposing conditions that would preclude an insured from donating an organ as a requirement for maintaining their insurance policy. The legislation aims to ensure that living organ donors are not discriminated against in the offering, issuance, or terms of their insurance policies.
