Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that blood donation policies in the United States should be equitable and based on science.

House Resolution 290 expresses the position of the House of Representatives that federal blood donation policies should be based on current scientific evidence rather than identity-based restrictions. The resolution calls for the adoption of individual risk assessments for all potential donors, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, to ensure the safety of the blood supply while maximizing the number of eligible donors. If implemented by federal health agencies, this shift would aim to reduce waiting periods and expand the ability of healthy individuals to contribute to the national blood supply.
