Relating to autologous and direct blood donations.

HB 4975 requires blood banks and hospitals to follow physicians' orders for autologous (donating one's own blood for future use) or direct blood donations (donating directly to a specific recipient). It mandates that blood banks comply with physician orders for these donations and may charge reasonable fees to cover administrative costs. Hospitals must allow patients scheduled for medical procedures to provide such donations when ordered by a physician. The bill affects blood banks, hospitals, and patients needing blood for procedures, taking effect September 1, 2025.
