[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I shall assume sponsorship of this perfectly reasonable bill that was written by a highly esteemed member of the Southern Chamber of Delegates. I believe that we must take action to increase incentives for people to become willing to donate their blood, organs, and bone marrow due to chronic shortages of these life saving body parts and fluids. There is no scientific logical basis to prohibit gay men from donating blood and organs as long as they simply pass the normal blood screening for diseases, and we shouldn't turn them down in an act of pointless discrimination especially since we need as many donors as possible. We also need to incentivize more potential donors by allowing them to receive tangible compensation for giving something as precious as a body part through health insurance premium deductions or the giving of monetary or other forms of gifts to donors. This bill aims to help our most vulnerable while protecting personal freedom.

I strongly support this measure.  Incentives matter, and this is a simple, tested way to improve stocks of vital organs and fluids for those who need them.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

I will, of course, support this bill when it comes to a vote, and commend the honorable delegate for its proposal.

[JGibson]

I will also support this bill.

I give thanks to LouisvilleThunder, my fellow colleague on the House floor, for sponsoring this bill.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Representatives have 24 hours to object to LT's assumption of sponsorship.

[VPH]

This is a strong measure for both equality and health.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Without objection, LT is now sponsor.


I would thus begin the obligatory 24 hours for advocacy and 48 hours for responses. Though the former has already been complied with.

The above amendment would add the ability of AtlasCare to offer the same incentives with the possibility encouraging its enrolled membership to likewise become blood and organ donors.

While this is already a possibility under its broader mandate to compete in clause 4, Section 1 of Part II of the Act, it is not explicitly so and therefore this explicitly allows for such actions.

I would also note that before we complete this bill, we should also defined "regularly donates".

Seems logical; I support the amendment.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Not sure if anyone is aware of this but much of Section 1 of this bill is already been passed into law by the Freedom to Donate Act of 2016.

Mr. President, I have a few bills for you:
