Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDPrivate employers and local governments must grant an employee unpaid leave to serve as a living organ donor, capped at 30 working days or the time requested, whichever is less, if the employee asks in writing.
State agencies must go further: they must grant their own employees paid administrative leave, up to 30 working days, to serve as a living organ donor, on top of whatever other leave already applies.
Employers of any size are covered, including a sole proprietor with a single employee, and nothing stops an employer from voluntarily granting paid or unpaid leave beyond the 30-day floor.
AIAn employer, including a private business or a local government, must grant an employee an unpaid leave of absence to serve as a living organ donor once the employee submits a written request.
AIEvery state agency must grant an employee paid administrative leave, capped at 30 working days, to serve as a living organ donor, regardless of any written-request process.
AIThe paid administrative leave for state employees does not replace or reduce any medical, personal, or other leave the employee already qualifies for under other law.
AIThe unpaid leave a private or local-government employer must grant is limited to whichever is shorter: the amount of time the employee actually requested, or 30 working days.
