Bill Summary for *SB2881 / HB2934

Present law requires a person to be at least 17 years of age in order to donate blood, except that a person under 17 years of age is authorized to donate blood when either a medical necessity exists within the person's immediate family or the person is making an autologous blood donation, and the person has both parental consent and the consent of his or her physician.

This bill authorizes any person who is 16 years of age to donate blood so long as the person has written parental consent.
