Relative to organ donation.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution, titled "Donate Life California Day: driver's license," acknowledges the profound impact of organ, tissue, eye, and blood donations in saving and enhancing lives, noting that over 21,000 Californians are on the national organ transplant waitlist and that many lives are lost due to a shortage of donated organs. It highlights that a single organ donor can save up to eight lives, a tissue donor can help up to 50 others, and a blood donation can assist three people. The resolution recognizes that millions of Californians have already registered as donors through the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry, and it specifically points out that individuals can easily sign up to become registered donors when applying for or renewing their driver's license or identification card at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In recognition of National Donate Life Month, the Legislature proclaims April 9, 2013, as DMV/Donate Life California Day and April 2013 as DMV/Donate Life California Month, encouraging all Californians to register as donors by checking "YES" on their DMV forms or by signing up online.
