           SUBJECT  :    Donate Life California Day:  drivers license

           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims April 18, 2012 as 
          DMV/Donate Life California Day and April 2012 as DMV/Donate 
          Life California Month in California, and 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.

           ANALYSIS  :    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 
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               ACR 132
                                                                Page 
          2

            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.
