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

Summary

The bill mandates that any Iowa blood bank or hospital that facilitates autologous (self‑donated) or directed (donated for a specific individual) blood collections must comply with a patient’s request when a physician orders a procedure that may need a transfusion. Collections must still follow all existing federal and state regulations, and the facility may charge a reasonable facilitation fee.
