Senator John Albers Applauds Passage of Organ Transport Bill in Senate
Wednesday, February 19, 2025
The Georgia Senate has passed Senate Bill 58, the “Georgia Transporting Life-Saving Organs and Personnel Act,” with bipartisan support. Sponsored by Sen. John Albers (R–Roswell), the legislation allows emergency organ transport vehicles to operate as ambulance services, expediting the transportation of organs and medical professionals.
“Having donated an organ to my son, I know firsthand the life-changing impact of organ donation,” said Sen. Albers. “These transport vehicles are already equipped with lights and sirens like other emergency vehicles, so it only makes sense to streamline their regulations and training. This bill will ensure medical teams can save lives more efficiently across Georgia.”
SB 58 passed the Senate unanimously with a 53-0 vote and now moves to the House for consideration.
