OPTN Fee Collection Authority Act

Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Bill 119 s 532, also known as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Registration Fee Authorization Act, is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to give the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to collect registration fees from members of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to organ donation and transplantation.

The main focus of the bill is to provide funding for the OPTN, which is responsible for matching organ donors with patients in need of transplants. By collecting registration fees from network members, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would be able to ensure that the OPTN has the necessary resources to effectively carry out its mission.

In addition to authorizing registration fees, the bill may also include provisions related to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the organ donation and transplantation process. This could involve measures to increase the number of registered organ donors, streamline the matching process, or enhance communication between transplant centers and organ procurement organizations. Overall, Bill 119 s 532 seeks to support the important work of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network by providing the necessary funding and resources to help save lives through organ donation and transplantation.
