(A) Notwithstanding another provision of law, a disability income insurance policy issued in this State, may not: (1) decline or limit coverage of a person under any disability income insurance policy solely due to the status of such person as a living organ donor; (2) preclude an insured from donating all or part of an organ as a condition of continuing to receive a disability income insurance policy; or (3) discriminate in the offering, issuance, cancellation, amount of such coverage, price, or any other condition of a disability income insurance policy for a person, based solely and without any additional actuarial risks upon the status of such person as a living organ donor. (B) The Department of Insurance may take actions to enforce subsection (A) as authorized under this title. (C) For purposes of this section: (1) "Disability income insurance policy" means a contract under which an entity promises to pay an insured a sum of money in the event that an illness or injury resulting in a disability prevents the insured from working. (2) "Living organ donor" means an individual who has donated all or part of an organ and is not deceased. Editor's Note 2024 Act No. 126, SECTION 1, provides as follows: "SECTION 1. This act may be cited as the 'Living Donor Protection Act'."
