AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 68
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 68 on page 7, by
replacing lines 8 through 26 with the following:
"(i) If a private employer grants all of its employees the
option of taking a paid leave of absence of at least 30 days
for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone marrow
donor, then the private employer may take a credit against the
payments due under this Section in an amount equal to the
amount withheld under this Section with respect to wages paid
while the employee is on organ donation leave, not to exceed
$20,833.33 for each employee who takes organ donation leave. To
be eligible for the credit, such a leave of absence must be
taken without loss of pay, vacation time, compensatory time,
personal days, or sick time for at least the first 30 days of
the leave of absence. The private employer shall adopt rules
governing organ donation leave, including rules that (i)
establish conditions and procedures for requesting and
approving leave and (ii) require medical documentation of the

10100SB0068sam001 - 2 - LRB101 04743 HLH 57694 a
proposed organ or bone marrow donation before leave is approved
by the private employer. A private employer must provide, in
the manner required by the Department, documentation from the
employee's medical provider, which the private employer
receives from the employee, that verifies the employee's organ
donation. The private employer must also provide, in the manner
required by the Department, documentation that shows that a
qualifying organ donor leave policy was in place and offered to
all qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For
the private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee
taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the
credit under this Section. A private employer must also
provide, in the form required by the Department, any additional
documentation or information required by the Department to
administer the credit under this Section. The credit under this
subsection (i) shall be taken within one year after the date
upon which the organ donation leave begins."; and
on page 8, immediately below line 8, by inserting the
following:
""Department" means the Department of Revenue.".
