CONTENT AND OPERATION Continuing law allows any person 17 years of age or older, without consent of the person's parent or guardian, to donate blood in a voluntary nonprofit blood program. The act authorizes any person 16 years of age but less than 17 years of age, with the consent of the person's parent or guardian, to donate blood in such a voluntary nonprofit blood program. The act does not change a provision of existing law that requires a blood program, before obtaining blood donations from students at high schools, joint vocational schools, or technical schools, to arrange for the dissemination of written donation information to students to be shared with their parents or guardians. That information must include a statement that the students will be requested to donate blood. (R.C. 2108.31.) HISTORY
