Establishes the "MO GIVES Program" to allow members of the Missouri National Guard to receive living donor medical orders
HB 2943 establishes the "MO GIVES Program" to provide Missouri National Guard members (in Troop Program Unit or Individual Ready Reserve status) who choose to be living organ donors with paid leave during their donation process. The program guarantees up to 45 days of paid leave (extendable medically) for the full donation period, exempts members from using accrued leave, and covers housing and per diem based on rank. Benefits are funded through a new dedicated "MO GIVES Fund" in the state treasury, which can accept donations and won't revert unspent funds to general revenue. This directly affects National Guard members who lack employer donor leave or choose not to use it, ensuring they can donate without financial penalty.
