This part says a grant that pays back a living organ donor may not look at what the person getting the organ earns. It removes a rule about expecting payment from that person. It also adds a yearly report on whether the money covers all donors.

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.
