§ 7-112. Blood from paid donor; transfusions. No blood initially acquired from a paid donor may be administered by transfusion in Illinois unless the physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches, the dentist, or the podiatric physician who is on the medical staff of a hospital and has permission from the medical staff to request a transfusion, who is in charge of the treatment of the patient to whom the blood is to be administered, has directed that blood acquired from a paid donor be administered to that patient and has specified in the patient's medical record his reason for this action.

Blood acquired from a paid donor shall be transferred for transfusion purposes in this State only as expressly permitted by rules promulgated by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
