Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to public health and safety; requiring blood donors to disclose vaccination status as specified; requiring blood packaging to be marked as specified; allowing a person who receives a blood transfusion to request the use of certain blood; providing definitions; requiring rulemaking; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill requires blood donation centers in Wyoming to mandate that donors disclose their COVID-19 and mRNA vaccine status, with specific requirements for labeling and patient choice. Under the proposed law, any organization collecting human blood donations must ask donors whether they have received a COVID-19 or messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine at any point in their medical history. Blood originating from vaccinated donors must be conspicuously marked on both the blood packaging and related documentation. In non-emergency medical situations, patients receiving blood transfusions will have the right to request blood specifically from donors who have or have not been vaccinated, provided such blood is available at the medical facility. The bill defines COVID-19 and mRNA vaccines, and requires the state Department of Health to develop rules for implementing these new requirements. The provisions of this bill are set to become effective on July 1, 2025, giving healthcare and blood donation organizations time to prepare for the new regulations.
