What’s in it
This bill relates to autologous or directed blood donations. The bill provides that a blood bank that facilitates autologous or directed blood donations shall comply with an individual’s request, based on a physician’s order for a procedure that may require a blood transfusion, for an autologous or directed blood donation, unless the blood bank determines the donation would result in an imminent risk to the individual’s life. The bill also provides that if a licensed hospital facilitates blood donations, the hospital shall comply with an individual’s request, based on a physician’s order for a procedure that may require a blood transfusion, for an autologous or directed blood donation, unless the hospital determines the donation would result in an imminent risk to the individual’s life.
