What: HB 645 – Prohibits donating or receiving blood, plasma, organs, if you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, and other vaccines.

When: Friday, February 24th @ 3PM

Where: House Human Services Committee – Room 152 – Sign up to testify or submit written comment

Talking Points:

  • Montana hospitals are currently facing a national blood shortage – not only is this bill discriminatory, but it actively exacerbates a crisis.

  • The people who will be hurt the most by this bill are patients who need blood or organ transplants – they should not suffer because of political vendettas by legislators in Helena

  • Health professionals know more about healthcare and blood transfusions and donations than politicians.  Keep politics out of the process.

  • This is a bill in search of a problem.  There are already safeguards in place for blood donations, transfusions, and organ transplants.
