S 2751 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Permanent OPTN Fee Authority Act

This bill establishes a permanent fee structure for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN), a national system managing organ transplants. It authorizes the Health Secretary to collect annual registration fees from transplant centers and organ procurement organizations participating in the OPTN, with funds dedicated solely to supporting the network's operations. The bill requires quarterly transparency updates on the website showing how much each member paid and how fees were spent, and mandates a GAO review within two years to assess the fee program's effectiveness. This affects all OPTN member organizations responsible for managing organ matching and transplants in the U.S.
