Maddy summaryHB 361, the Alabama Living Donor Protection Act, prohibits insurers from denying or limiting disability, life, or long-term care insurance coverage to living organ donors. It requires public employers (state/local government) to provide up to 80 hours of paid medical leave for employees donating organs, with no retaliation allowed. Private employers offering similar paid leave (minimum 80 hours or 15 days) qualify for a 25% tax credit (capped at $2,000 annually) for tax years starting in 2027. The bill directly affects organ donors, insurers, public employees, and private sector employers. It aims to remove financial barriers to donation through concrete protections and incentives.

Maddy summaryHB 390 expands Alabama's existing employer tax credit program to include expenses for adult day care services. Currently, the credit covers child care costs for employees' children under age 5; this bill adds eligible expenses for adult day care services for employees' dependent adults aged 18 or older who require care due to age, disability, or health conditions. Employers would receive a tax credit equal to 75% of qualifying adult day care expenses (100% for small businesses with fewer than 25 employees), up to $600,000 annually per employer. The change directly affects employers providing care for adult dependents, making these costs tax-deductible under the same framework as current child care expenses.
