Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act

Lets award several contracts to run the national organ transplant network, instead of one, and removes the funding cap.

Tradeoff

Ends the rule that one organization runs the organ transplant network, and removes the cap on its funding. Requires a federal review of past network financing, including how registration fees were used.
