Tissue Banks and Hospitals - Autologous and Directed Blood Donations

Summary

The bill prohibits tissue banks and hospitals from refusing a patient’s autologous (self‑donated) or directed (donated by a chosen individual) blood collection when a physician orders it and all safety and regulatory standards are met. Patients or their authorized decision‑makers can request these donations, and providers may only decline for genuine medical, logistical, or regulatory reasons. It also requires clear, informed‑consent information about donation options to be given to patients.
