Representative Michael Lawler introduces H.R. 10884: Lauren Shields Organ Donation Act

We have received text from H.R. 10884: Lauren Shields Organ Donation Act. This bill was received on 2026-10-22, and currently has 2 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would make it easier for people to sign up as organ donors when they interact with a range of federal programs and forms.

What the bill would require

Starting one year after enactment, several federal agencies would have to add an organ donor check box or similar option to certain application forms. If someone chooses that option, the agency would send that choice to the person’s state organ donor registry and to the national registry used by Donate Life America (or a successor).

• Social Security applications: Applications for Social Security benefits under Title II and Supplemental Security Income under Title XVI would include an organ donor option.
• Medicare enrollment: Applications for Medicare Part A, ESRD-related coverage, and certain other Medicare enrollments would include the option.
• Veterans benefits forms: Veterans benefits claim forms would include an organ donor option.
• Passport forms: Passport application forms, including initial applications, renewals, corrections, name changes, and limited-validity passports, would include the option.
• Individual income tax returns: Federal tax returns would include an organ donor option, and the IRS would be allowed to share that election for registration purposes.

New electronic system for updates

The bill would require the Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration, to create a secure electronic system within 180 days of enactment. The purpose of the system would be to quickly update a person’s donor status in the national organ donation system and in applicable state registries.

Grants to states

The bill would create a grant program for states to modify certain state forms and applications so they can also be used to register people as organ donors. The forms and applications covered could include those related to:

• Medicaid
• State health insurance marketplaces or other state-run coverage systems
• SNAP
• TANF
• WIC
• LIHEAP
• voter registration
• concealed carry of a firearm
• other programs the state chooses

Timing

Most of the form-related changes would take effect one year after enactment. The electronic data system would be due within 180 days.
