Maddy summaryBill A 6924, titled "Ensures fairness in organ donations to persons with physical or mental disabilities," prohibits hospitals, transplant centers, and other healthcare providers from denying organ transplants or related services based solely on a person's disability. It requires covered entities to consider existing support networks (like family or Medicaid-funded home care) and make reasonable policy adjustments - such as providing accessible communication or involving designated support persons - so individuals with disabilities can meet post-transplant medical requirements.

It aligns with the Americans with Disabilities Act and applies to all New York residents needing organ transplants.
