HB 4728 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Health: testing; screening of breast milk donor for presence of HIV; modify. Amends sec. 9123 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9123).

This bill modifies Michigan's public health laws to require that donors of breast milk be tested for HIV before their milk is used. It applies to licensed facilities that collect human tissues or body fluids for introduction into a human body, ensuring that all potential donors are screened for the presence of HIV or antibodies to HIV. If a test result is positive, the milk cannot be used unless specific emergency exceptions apply, such as when testing is not possible due to exigent circumstances and both the donor and recipient provide written informed consent. Additionally, the law mandates that facilities must inform donors of any positive test results and holds violators civilly liable for damages caused by failing to comply with these testing requirements.
