This bill removes a New York state law that previously prohibited transplant patients from being listed on waiting lists at multiple organ procurement organizations.

This amendment updates organ allocation rules to allow patients to potentially access multiple transplant programs without violating state policy. The law took effect immediately upon signing on October 16, 2025.
