BILL NUMBER: S2871 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing the commissioner of health to make grants to be used for the costs of conducting a local blood donation drive PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL : Provides grants to encourage community blood drives. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Amends Public Health Law § 3100 to allow the Health Commissioner to make grants, within amounts appropriated, to not-for-profit organizations and elementary, secondary and postsecondary schools to help pay for the costs of conducting a local blood donation drive. JUSTIFICATION : This bill would create a program of grants to help community groups and schools run blood drives. When community organizations or schools conduct blood drives, the blood bank generally pays for the cost of the blood collection itself. But the blood banks do not pay for promotional activities such as mailings to an organization's members, or the cost of the space if this cost exists.
