Utah HB0156 allows patients to provide their own blood for transfusions, except in specific circumstances.

Utah HB0156, known as the Blood Transfusion Amendments, permits patients to provide their own blood or that of a directed donor for transfusions, barring certain exceptions. These exceptions include cases where the donation or transfusion would be detrimental to the donor or patient, insufficient time exists to arrange the blood product, or the procedure is an emergency.
