14 Days Hospitals Retain Blood Draws for Investigations

Abstract

Current law does not require hospitals to hold on to blood draws for any specific amount of time. The act requires hospitals or other health-care facilities to retain blood draws or admission blood samples for 14 days if a coroner submits a blood retention form upon a hospital or health-care facility for a blood draw or admission blood sample of a deceased individual that is the subject of a coroner's death inquest or investigation. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
