Blood donations have become crucial to those in need, determining their final fate. As stated by representative Jason Choi, there is an opportunity for more people to be helped and assisted with blood donation within their community. As part of the bill, a collaboration was put forward to allow this bill to thrive further. One promoter mentioned in Choi’s speech was the Comptroller’s office, who would then promote blood donation and raise public awareness along with well open blood drives. Several ways to be part of helping others are by donating blood yourself, spreading the word, and/or becoming members of organizations that involve communication.
If small businesses were to disobey the guidelines of this bill, penalties would be given, and further consequences would be sentenced. Businesses would engage in fraud or even demotion from participating in programs or civil issues. Though helping is always a good deed, some are unable to. So, what does this bill mean to those individuals? Diseases, along with many other possibilities, could be highly transmitted through given blood, which would decrease those who can donate, but does not wanting to by choice make you a bad person? Not everyone may agree with this bill because of the possibility of failure. Even though small businesses and people may benefit from this act, persuading everyone to donate may not be possible. Many may disagree with the taxes or business requirements that include higher than an average income and descriptive eligibility. When watching the arguments in action, the room felt a rising tension, but Jason’s words were well said, and with a firm tone, he got as much of his bill into the audience. As the final discussion approaches, Jason Choi is faced with many questions in which the court’s final decisions lead to the decline of his bill.
