Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act Signed Into Law
06 May 2025: Gov. Katie Hobbs has signed into law the Arizona End Organ Harvesting Act (HB 2109), following similar legislation already passed in Idaho, Texas, Utah and Tennessee.
The bill allows insurance providers and the state’s Medicaid agency to deny or limit coverage for a patient who receives an organ transplant from China, or if the organ was procured by a sale or donation from China.
State Rep. Leo Biasiucci, the lead sponsor for the bill, said he hopes the bill can help “get the information out” and he will keep trying to “chip away at more and more parts” and do everything possible to “put an end to this.”
