HEALTH – Adds to existing law to establish the End Organ Harvesting Act and to prohibit certain genetic technologies.
RS30988 / H0670
This bill prohibits health insurance providers in Idaho from issuing reimbursements for organ transplant operations performed in China or other countries known to have participated in forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience and other persecuted people.
