This bill aims to amend the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to explicitly include recovery from organ donation surgery as a qualifying serious health condition . This clarification applies to both private sector employees, by modifying section 101(11) of the FMLA, and Federal civil service employees, by amending section 6381(5) of title 5, United States Code. The primary impact is to ensure that individuals who undergo organ donation surgery are eligible for job-protected leave under FMLA during their recovery period. For Federal employees specifically, the bill further mandates that any available leave under section 6327, which pertains to organ donor leave, must be substituted for FMLA leave taken for organ donation recovery, maximizing the use of dedicated donor leave.
