(a) In general - It shall be unlawful to discriminate against a living kidney donor, in the offering, issuance, cancellation, price or conditions of a life insurance policy, or in the amount of coverage provided under a life insurance policy, based solely on the status of such person as a living kidney donor, without evidence of additional actuarial risks, unrelated to their donation.
