The resolution designates April of each year as Donate Life Month in New Jersey, aiming to promote organ donor registration and honor individuals who have chosen to donate life-saving organs and tissues. It highlights the critical need for organ donations, noting that nearly 4,000 New Jersey residents and over 100,000 Americans are currently awaiting transplants, with 17 people dying each day due to the shortage of available organs. The resolution emphasizes that a single organ donor can save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life for over 75 others through tissue donation.

To support this initiative, the resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials, citizens, and organizations to observe Donate Life Month with relevant programs and activities. It also informs residents about the registration process, which can be completed at local Motor Vehicle Agencies or online through the National Donate Life Registry. The resolution underscores New Jersey's commitment to increasing donor registration and addressing the urgent need for organ donations to help those in critical need of transplants.
