           SUMMARY  :  Proclaims April 18, 2012, as DMV/Donate Life 
          California Day and April 2012 as DMV/Donate Life California 
          Month in California; encourages all Californians to register 
          with the Donate Life California Registry when applying for or 
          renewing a driver's license or identification card or by signing 
          up at www.donateLIFEcalifornia.org or 
          www.doneVIDACalifornia.org.   Specifically,  this resolution  
          makes the following legislative findings:

          1)A single individual's donation of heart, lungs, liver, 
            kidneys, pancreas, and small intestine can save up to eight 
            lives.  The donation of tissue can save and enhance the lives 
            of up to 50 others; and, a single blood donation can help 
            three people in need. 

          2)Californians by the millions are joining together to save and 
            enhance lives by becoming registered donors; and, California 
            residents can register with the Donate Life California 
            Registry when applying for or renewing a driver's license or 
            identification card at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

          3)Organ, tissue, eye, and blood donations are compassionate and 
            life-giving acts; and, thousands of patients die each year 
            while waiting for a transplant due to a shortage of donated 
            organs.
