S 4347 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

"Gary Letizia Pre-Hospital Blood Transfusion Act"; authorizes advanced life support providers, under medical oversight, to administer blood products to patients in pre-hospital settings, and establishes certain reimbursement for such providers.

This bill allows certified emergency medical providers in New Jersey to give blood transfusions to patients before they reach a hospital, aiming to reduce deaths from severe bleeding. To ensure safety, the law requires these providers to work under a doctor's supervision, complete specific training, and operate with at least two trained staff members present during any transfusion. The legislation also sets up rules for how blood must be stored and transported, mandates regular audits of the program, and creates a pathway for insurance companies to reimburse these services.
