A bill for an act relating to autologous and directed blood donations at blood banks and hospitals.

Summary

The bill obligates any Iowa blood bank or licensed hospital that assists with blood donations to fulfill a patient’s request for an autologous or directed donation when a physician orders it for a procedure. The donations must still comply with all applicable federal and state laws, and the facilities may charge a reasonable fee for the service. This gives patients clearer access to their own or specifically‑donated blood for transfusions.
