Blood bank; COVID-19; promulgation of rules; effective date.

HB 3196 requires the Oklahoma State Department of Health to create rules for a new "COVID-19 Blood Bank" that would only accept unvaccinated blood described as "untainted from the COVID-19 shots." This bill applies specifically to blood banks operating in Oklahoma and mandates the health department to establish these rules by November 1, 2026. The legislation creates a new regulatory framework for blood storage under this specific designation, though it does not address blood donation eligibility beyond the stated criteria. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, as specified in Section 2.
