HEALTH – Adds to existing law to provide for disclosure and labeling of certain blood intended for blood transfusions and to provide that a person receiving a blood transfusion shall have the right to request blood based on vaccination status of the donor.

Idaho's H 131 requires blood collection organizations to ask donors about their COVID-19 or mRNA vaccine history and to clearly label blood from vaccinated donors. It gives patients receiving non-emergency blood transfusions the right to request blood based on the donor's vaccination status, if available. The bill mandates disclosure, labeling, and patient choice while specifying that these rules apply in non-emergency medical situations. It declares an emergency and takes effect on July 1, 2025. The law directly affects blood donors, blood collection facilities, and patients needing transfusions.
