Summary

Sets a cost-related cap on the fee which a blood bank may charge or collect with respect to its collection and distribution of blood. Prohibits a blood bank from: (1) conditioning the provision of blood to an entity on the donation or provision of blood by an individual; and (2) basing a reduction or elimination of a fee for the collection or distribution of blood on the donation or provision of blood by an individual. Sets forth enforcement procedures, including: (1) the right of an entity charged a fee in violation of this Act to treble damages in a State court (plus attorney's fees); (2) the availability of injunctive relief in a district court to blood donors; and (3) civil penalties for violations of this Act.
