Prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in receiving organ transplants or anatomical gifts based solely on their disability status.

Requires health care providers, hospitals, and organ transplant centers to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities, including qualified interpreters, taped materials, supported decision-making services, and equipment modifications.

Allows covered entities to consider a disability only if a physician determines through individualized evaluation that it is medically significant to the transplant procedure itself.

Prohibits denying transplant eligibility, medical services, referrals, waiting list placement, or insurance coverage based on disability, and forbids placing qualified individuals at lower priority on transplant lists due to disability.

Takes effect on the first day of the third month following passage and gubernatorial approval, and is known as "Exton's Law."
