Bill > SB1194

This bill, known as the Autologous and Direct Allogeneic Blood Transfusion Act, aims to reduce the risks associated with receiving blood from others by allowing individuals to use their own blood or blood from a specific donor for medical procedures. An "autologous blood transfusion" means donating your own blood for your own future use, typically before a planned surgery. A "direct allogeneic blood transfusion" involves someone else donating blood specifically for you. The bill requires any "health care facility," which includes licensed hospitals, clinics, and other institutions providing health services, to permit these types of transfusions if the individual notifies the facility at least 72 hours before a "medical procedure" (any intervention to manage or cure health conditions) and, for direct allogeneic transfusions, provides a list of eligible donors.
