The resolution highlights the critical issue of organ donation in the United States, where over 100,000 individuals, including 1,200 from Alabama, are on the national transplant waiting list. It emphasizes the urgency of the situation, noting that a new person is added to the list every nine minutes and that, on average, 17 people die each day while waiting for a transplant. To combat this health crisis, the resolution calls for increased public education and encourages citizens to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors through platforms like legacyofhope.org or their local DMV.

In recognition of the importance of organ donation, the resolution proclaims April as National Donate Life Month in Alabama. It aims to honor the generosity of registered donors and their families, as well as the dedication of medical professionals and researchers involved in the donation and transplantation process. The resolution urges Alabama residents to consider the life-saving impact of their potential donations, as one donor can save and heal the lives of more than 75 people.
