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, tissues, and eyes. 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 many others, underscoring the importance of increasing donor registration to alleviate the burden on those in need of transplants.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation to encourage public officials, citizens, and organizations to observe Donate Life Month with relevant programs and activities. It also reassures residents that registering as an organ donor does not affect the quality of healthcare they receive. New Jersey residents can register as organ and tissue donors at local Motor Vehicle Agencies or online through the National Donate Life Registry, reinforcing the state's commitment to enhancing organ donation awareness and addressing the urgent need for more registered donors.
