Pennsylvania Statutes Title 35 P.S. Health and Safety § 6520. Community, State, and interstate coordination

The department shall investigate with the advice of the Blood Bank Advisory Committee the feasibility of (i) a community-wide, (ii) Statewide and (iii) an interstate system for inventory coordination and control of blood and blood products. If practical, the State shall put into effect such an inventory system. This system will be developed, as far as practical, in the stages mentioned above. The blood banks, physicians, consumer groups, hospitals and the public in each community shall be encouraged and permitted to meaningfully participate in the planning of the community-wide coordination systems. No blood bank shall be forced to accept blood or blood products from another blood bank.
