Delegate Gary Simmons (presenting HB 1410) described personal experience with kidney failure and said the bill would create an income tax credit to encourage employers to provide paid leave for employees who donate an organ. Sponsor said the measure mirrors provisions adopted in roughly 19 states and was drafted with input from the American Kidney Foundation and the American Kidney Fund. Q&A focused on the 12-week leave period and whether that aligns with typical recovery times.
