House Resolution No. [insert number] proposes to declare April 2026 as National Donate Life Month in Michigan. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of over 4.6 million Michiganders who have joined the Michigan Organ Donor Registry, demonstrating their compassion and willingness to help others through organ, tissue, and eye donation.

The resolution aims to celebrate and acknowledge the selfless acts of those who choose to be donors, as well as the families who support them. It calls for recognition of the profound effects of organ donation on individuals and communities, and it expresses appreciation for organizations like Donate Life America, Eversight, and Gift of Life of Michigan for their efforts in promoting this important cause. Copies of the resolution will be sent to these organizations to honor their contributions to the mission of organ donation.
