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 their organs. It highlights the critical need for organ donations, noting that nearly 4,000 residents in New Jersey and over 100,000 Americans are currently awaiting life-saving transplants. The resolution emphasizes that a single organ donor can save up to eight lives and improve the quality of life for many others through tissue donation. It also points out the alarming statistic that 17 people die each day in the U.S. while waiting for a transplant, underscoring the urgency of increasing donor registrations.

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 provides information on how New Jersey residents can register as organ and tissue donors, either at local Motor Vehicle Agencies or through the National Donate Life Registry online. The resolution reflects New Jersey's commitment to enhancing health care services and addressing the significant gap between the number of available organs and those on the transplant waitlist.
