Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-2167: Blood solicitation and donation

A. It shall be the intent of the Legislature that each blood

service system operating in this state use only blood and blood

products obtained from volunteer donors, except in an emergency

calling for a rare blood type that is not available from a nonpaid

donor or in an unusual disaster situation when normal supply is

interrupted or depleted. Blood collected from inmates in

correctional facilities shall not be used to transfuse patients in

this state.

B. Blood solicitation or donation as a prerequisite for

surgical or medical reasons is hereby prohibited.

C. Every blood donor organization shall adopt policies and

procedures for directed blood donations. Such designated donations

must be medically suitable of purpose, safety, and acceptability to

the body of the recipient.

D. Appeals for blood donations should be directed at the

community at large, including organized groups within the community.

While appeals to the family and friends of the hospitalized patients

are an acceptable part of total donor recruitment program, blood

service establishments should exercise discretion in such appeals

and should carefully avoid the use of any undue pressure or

coercion.
