Blood donation; requiring blood service systems to comply with certain physician orders; requiring hospitals to allow certain blood donations. Effective date.

SB 1661 requires blood service systems (like blood banks) to follow doctors' orders for autologous or direct blood donations - where patients donate their own blood before a scheduled procedure. It allows blood services to charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs for processing these donations. Hospitals must permit patients to donate their own blood directly for an upcoming medical procedure when a physician orders it. This bill directly affects patients needing pre-procedure blood donations, doctors ordering such donations, and blood services/hospitals managing the process.
