Relating to autologous and direct blood donations.

SB 125 requires blood banks and hospitals to follow a physician's order when facilitating autologous (using one's own blood for later procedures) or direct blood donations (donating directly to a specific patient). Specifically, blood banks must comply with physician orders for these donations under Health and Safety Code Section 162.021, and hospitals must allow such donations with physician orders under Section 241.013. The bill directly affects medical facilities handling blood donations and takes effect September 1, 2025. It establishes a procedural requirement for ensuring these donations align with medical treatment plans.
