This resolution addresses the critical shortage of organ, eye, and tissue donations in the United States, highlighting that over 100,000 Americans, including 1,200 Alabamians, are on the national transplant waiting list. It emphasizes the severity of the situation by noting that every nine minutes another person is added to the waiting list and that an average of 17 people die each day while waiting for a transplant. The resolution suggests that the most effective response to this crisis is public education and encouraging citizens to register as donors either online at legacyofhope.org or at their local department of motor vehicles.

The resolution also points out the significant impact one donor can have, potentially saving and healing more than 75 people. It calls for the recognition of National Donate Life Month as a time to honor the generosity of registered donors, donor families, living donors, medical professionals, researchers, and others involved in organ donation and transplantation. The House of Representatives of the Alabama Legislature proclaims April as National Donate Life Month and uses the resolution to urge Alabama residents to consider organ, eye, and tissue donation as an act of compassion that can save lives.
