House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chair Morgan Griffith (R-VA) have announced a Subcommittee hearing titled “A Year Removed: Oversight of Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act Implementation.”
“Patients awaiting an organ transplant and their families anxiously hope and pray for a match. At the same time, individuals coping with the loss of a loved one deserve to know that a donated organ is going to save a life. Unfortunately, for years the organ transplant system has been hampered by inefficiencies, mismanagement, and risks to patient safety,” said Chairs Rodgers and Griffith. “Last year, Congress passed a bipartisan bill led by Reps. Bucshon and Kelly to improve the system and give hope to patients in need. This hearing will provide an opportunity to hear from experts and stakeholders about how the law is being implemented and what challenges remain.”
The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing titled “A Year Removed: Oversight of Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act Implementation” will take place on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at 10:30 AM ET in Room 2322 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
Witnesses for the hearing will be announced later and are by invitation only.
This notice is issued under the direction of the Chair. The hearing will be open to both the public and press, with live streaming available online at https://energycommerce.house.gov/.
