House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Ventrella aims to direct the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to prioritize organ donation education in its rulemaking process. This resolution comes in the context of repealing certain student instruction and teacher training requirements, while granting BESE the authority to establish new instructional and training requirements by rule. The resolution emphasizes the importance of integrating organ donation education into existing curricula, particularly in health education, and is inspired by Aliye's Law, named after a Baton Rouge teenager who became an organ donor and saved multiple lives.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the mixed sentiments among legislators regarding the removal of previous requirements, highlighting a collective desire to maintain a focus on critical issues such as suicide prevention and mental health alongside organ donation education. It mandates that BESE provide opportunities for public input from citizens and advocacy groups during the rulemaking process, ensuring that community voices are considered in shaping educational policies. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the president of BESE and the state superintendent of education to facilitate this initiative.
