CA AB1223

Requires private and public employers to grant employees an additional unpaid leave of absence not exceeding 30 business days in a one-year period for organ donation purposes, in addition to existing paid leave.

Prohibits life, disability, and long-term care insurance policies issued on or after January 1, 2020, from denying coverage, limiting benefits, charging higher rates, or otherwise discriminating against living organ donors based solely on donor status.

Requires insurers to apply the same actuarial standards to living organ donors as non-donors when evaluating health conditions other than organ donation.

Expands the Michelle Maykin Memorial Donation Protection Act to include unpaid leave for public employees after they exhaust available sick leave, and clarifies that paid organ donation leave is 30 business days per one-year period for private employers.

Defines "living organ donor" as an individual who has donated all or part of an organ and is not deceased.
