▶ Show statement of purpose

This bill mandates the disclosure of mRNA vaccination status prior to blood donation. This information is crucial as it allows recipients to be informed about the potential origin of the blood, particularly in relation to whetherthedonorhasreceivedanmRNA-basedvaccine. Theblooddonationrecipientcanrequestbloodbased on this information. Importantly, this requirement does not necessitate separate storage of donated blood, but rather calls for the donor’s declaration at the time of donation and the blood to be conspicuously marked.

▶ Show fiscal note

This legislation causes no increase or decrease in revenue, or additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government; therefore, this legislation has no fiscal impact.
