SUMMARY : Proclaims April 9, 2013, as DMV/Donate Life California
Day and April 2013 as DMV/Donate Life California Month in
California; encourages all Californians to register with the
Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor 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 donation 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.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
