A bill that would allow Nome representative Richard Foster to receive a donated kidney for transplant surgery passed from committee today. The Legislative Ethics Committee determined that the value of a donated kidney is more than the statutory $250 limit for what the law calls a “compassionate gift.” Foster would be in violation of that restriction if he undergoes a transplant.
