The Baltimore Sun has the story:
Maryland House passes bills on organ transplants, sponsored by speaker who was saved by a liver transplant
"The Maryland House of Delegates on Thursday unanimously passed two organ donations sponsored by House Speaker Michael E. Busch, whose life was saved by a liver transplant last year.
One would provide a $7,500 tax credit for living donors to help defray their costs of donating all or part of an organ.
...
"Gov. Larry Hogan has announced his support for the bill.
"The second Busch-sponsored measure would treat vehicles delivering donor organs or medical personnel en route to a transplant operation as emergency vehicles. That would allow them to use flashing signals and permits them to speed or go through traffic signals if they can do so safely.
"The two bills now go to the Senate, where passage is expected."
