Committee introduces RS32645 to begin work on directed blood donations for procedures
Loading...
Summary
Representative Chris Bruce introduced RS32645 to reserve a bill number for study of directed blood donation — allowing patients to arrange their own directed blood for medical procedures. The committee voted to introduce the request number; sponsors emphasized this was an initial step for off-session work.
Representative Chris Bruce (District 20) introduced RS32645 to the Health and Welfare Committee, describing it as a vehicle to begin work on legislation regarding directed blood donations that patients could arrange for their own procedures.
Bruce said the request-for-serial (RS) number would "give us a way to reference back a bill number and to have the conversation" during the interim, and he asked the committee to introduce the RS so stakeholders can continue work and gather information. Representative Levitt asked whether the measure should address misuse concerns such as blood-doping in athletic contexts; Bruce and others said the focus is medical procedures, and Levitt's question was offered as a suggestion for future staff work.
Representative Bieswanger moved to introduce RS32645, and the committee approved the introduction by voice vote. The committee record shows the RS was introduced for information; members emphasized that introducing an RS is not the same as placing a bill on a later reading calendar.
The RS will allow sponsors and staff to continue drafting and information-gathering ahead of formally filing a bill in a future session. No formal bill text or budgetary impact was presented at the meeting, and committee members asked sponsors to return with additional details if they want the RS converted into a bill for committee hearing.
