S-2751 : Still Just a Bill


The Permanent OPTN Fee Authority Act (S. 2751) proposes changes to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) with the goal of improving its efficiency and transparency.

Key provisions of the bill include:

  • Registration Fees: Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to collect registration fees from OPTN members for each transplant candidate they list. These fees will support the operation of the OPTN.
  • Fee Transparency: Mandates the Secretary to publish the amount of registration fees collected from each member and detail how these fees are used.
  • Dashboard Creation: Suggests the establishment of a dashboard to display transplant statistics, updated more frequently than annually.
  • GAO Review: Requires the Comptroller General to review the activities under this legislation within two years and submit a report to relevant congressional committees.
  • Technical Amendments: Includes minor technical corrections to section 372 of the Public Health Service Act to improve clarity.

In summary, the bill aims to provide a funding mechanism for the OPTN through registration fees, increase transparency in the use of these funds, and enhance data availability for monitoring the performance of the organ transplantation system.
