This bill is to amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow a nonrefundable tax
credit for a donation of a qualified life-saving organ for transplantation by a
living individual into another individual. Defines "qualified life-saving organ"

also amends: (1) the Public Health Service Act to reduce federal living organ
donation grants by any tax credit for organ donation received under this Act;
and (2) the National Organ Transplant Act to provide that any such tax credit
shall not be deemed valuable consideration for purposes of the ban against organ
purchases.This bill H.R. 1035 was introduced by Rep

in the Senate.
