Summary

This bill clarifies that organ donation surgery qualifies as a serious health condition under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for both private sector and federal civil service employees. It amends existing law to explicitly include recovery from organ donation surgery within the definition of a serious health condition.

Sec. 1, Clarification of organ donation surgery as qualifying as a serious health condition under FMLA: For private sector employees, the bill amends the definition of serious health condition in the FMLA to include recovery from surgery related to organ donation. For federal civil service employees, it similarly amends the definition in title 5 of the U.S. Code to include recovery from organ donation surgery. Additionally, it requires federal employees who take FMLA leave to serve as an organ donor to substitute any available leave under section 6327 for as much of that leave as possible.
