Bill > S2871

This bill aims to establish regulations for source plasma donation centers in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "source plasma," "plasmapheresis," and "source plasma donation center." The bill authorizes source plasma donation centers to collect source plasma through plasmapheresis and allows them to employ individuals to perform total protein tests using digital refractometers, as long as they comply with federal laws and regulations. The bill also requires the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to establish registration requirements for source plasma donation centers, collect fees, investigate complaints, and take disciplinary action to protect public health and safety. The department will also be responsible for approving and issuing certificates of registration and maintaining a list of registered centers, as well as promulgating necessary rules and regulations.
