2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 19a - Public Health and Well-Being|Chapter 368a - Department of Public Health|Section 19a-32p - Legislative findings and declaration of policy.

 The General Assembly finds that umbilical cord blood is rich in stem cells that may be used to treat blood cancers, such as leukemia, myeloma and lymphoma, and inherited immunodeficiencies and blood diseases, including sickle cell anemia, thalassemias, hemoglobinopathies, aplastic anemias and marrow failure disorders. Currently, such cord blood is most often discarded as medical waste. As a result, the current inventory of umbilical cord blood is insufficient to meet the medical demand and especially fails to provide matched units for many ethnic and racial groups, including multiethnic individuals. Therefore, the General Assembly declares that it is in the public interest and shall be the public policy of this state to encourage and facilitate the donation, collection and storage of umbilical cord blood and to make such blood units available for medical research and treatment.(P.A. 11-160, S. 2.)History: P.A. 11-160 effective July 13, 2011.

As used in this subsection, “public use” means (1) use of umbilical cord blood units by state, national and international cord blood registries and transplant centers in order to increase the likelihood of providing suitably matched donor umbilical cord blood units to patients in need of such units or research participants who are in need of a transplant, (2) biological research and new clinical use of stem cells derived from the blood and tissue of the umbilical cord, and (3) medical research that utilizes umbilical cord blood units that could not otherwise be used for transplantation or clinical use.(b) In order to carry out its statutory purpose, the board may raise funds, apply for and accept any public or private grant money, accept contributions, enter into contracts and, within available resources, hire any necessary staff, including, but not limited to, an executive director.(P.A. 11-160, S. 4.)History: P.A. 11-160 effective July 13, 2011.
