Establishes requirements for autologous blood donations in Rhode Island.
This bill amends the General Laws to create a new chapter on autologous or direct blood donations. It defines "autologous blood donation" as when a person donates their own blood for personal use during a future medical procedure, and "direct blood donation" as when a person donates their blood specifically for another person's future medical procedure. The bill mandates that a healthcare provider's order for such donations be followed unless specific health conditions or other reasons make donation inadvisable.
