OPTN Fee Collection Authority Act

This bill authorizes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to collect registration fees from Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) members (including hospitals and transplant centers) for each transplant candidate listed on the OPTN registry. The fees, collected per candidate, must be used solely to support OPTN operations and cannot be used for other purposes. The bill requires quarterly transparency updates on the OPTN website showing fee amounts collected and how they are spent, and mandates a government review within two years. The fee collection authority expires after three years from the bill’s enactment.
