What the document says
“The recipient of a grant under this section, in providing reimbursement to a donating individual through such grant, shall not give any consideration to the income of the organ recipient.''; and”
Subsection (a) of section 6503 adds a new subsection (c) to section 377 of the Public Health Service Act. A grantee paying back a donating individual through the grant may not give any consideration to the income of the person who received the organ.
What the document actually says
“The recipient of a grant under this section, in providing reimbursement to a donating individual through such grant, shall not give any consideration to the income of the organ recipient.''; and”
That sentence, in plain words
A grant holder pays back a person who gave an organ. It may not look at what the person who got the organ earns.
What this is about
Giving an organ costs the donor time off work and travel. A grant pays that back. What the sick person earns has nothing to do with it.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
