SENATE VOTE: 38-0
SUBJECT: Donate Life/DMV Partnership Month.
SUMMARY: Proclaims the month of April 2019 as Donate Life/DMV Partnership Month in California, and encourages all Californians to register with the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry. Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative findings:
- The Legislature has established an official state organ and tissue donor registry that has become the largest in the world, with over 15 million people signed up to save and heal the lives of others after death.
- The Legislature has approved the innovative Living Donation California information and referral tool to encourage living kidney donation.
- The Superintendent of Public Instruction has recognized Donate Life California’s high school education program, which has educated pupils about organ, eye, and tissue donation for the past seven years.
- California has the greatest need for transplantation in the nation with nearly 22,000 residents waiting for a second chance at life, representing almost one in five on the national waiting list.
- In 2018, through a partnership with the DMV, the Donate Life California Organ and Tissue Donor Registry reached over 15 million Californians registered as donors, making it the first registry in the nation to reach this milestone. This continuing increase in registration of donors during the application and renewal process for a driver’s license and identification card continues to save more lives each year in California and around the country.
- In 2018, 1,016 Californians became organ donors and 4,165 life-saving transplants were performed in our state, but, tragically, 989 people died while waiting due to the shortage of available organs.
