Autologous or direct blood donations.

HB 135 (Wyoming) establishes rules for autologous and direct blood donations. It requires hospitals and licensed health facilities to allow patients to donate their own blood (autologous) or donate blood specifically for another person (direct) before a medical procedure, as ordered by a healthcare provider. Blood banks must follow these orders unless the donor has health conditions making donation unsafe, and may charge reasonable fees for facilitating and storing the blood. The bill directly affects hospitals, blood banks, and patients seeking pre-donated blood for future procedures. It takes effect July 1, 2025, with rulemaking by the Department of Health required for implementation.
