This bill establishes a licensure requirement for source plasma donation centers in New Jersey, mandating that these facilities obtain an annual license from the Department of Health to operate. The Commissioner of Health will oversee the licensing process, set initial and renewal fees, and ensure that the income from these fees is appropriated to the department. Notably, individuals who have been operating a source plasma donation center prior to the bill's effective date will only need to pay a $25 initial application fee. The bill also outlines the definitions of key terms, such as "source plasma" and "plasmapheresis," and emphasizes the importance of these centers in providing plasma-derived therapies for various medical conditions.

To ensure safety and compliance, the Commissioner will have the authority to create rules and regulations governing the donation process, conduct inspections, and enforce compliance. The bill allows for the suspension or revocation of licenses if violations occur, particularly those posing a danger to public health, with provisions for hearings and appeals. Penalties for violations range from $100 to $1,000 for first offenses and from $500 to $5,000 for subsequent offenses, with enforcement carried out under the Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999. The act is set to take effect on November 1 following its enactment, with provisions for anticipatory administrative actions by the Commissioner.
