Plain-language change summary

The amendment updates § 38.2-508 of the Code of Virginia to explicitly prohibit unfair discrimination against individuals based on their status as living organ donors. This means that insurers cannot discriminate in the rates, benefits, or terms of life or health insurance contracts simply because a person has donated an organ. It highlights inclusivity in insurance practices for living organ donors within Virginia's regulations.
